Saturday, June 14 2 p.m. at Iowa PBS

Join Iowa PBS and Mary Lou Metzger for a special afternoon filled with music and memories from her time as a singer and dancer on The Lawrence Welk Show . During her 12 years on the show, from 1970 until 1982, Mary Lou performed as part of a trio with fellow Welk stars Gail Farrell and Sandi Griffiths, in various group numbers, and in song-and dance numbers with Jack Imel. She also danced with the maestro himself at the end of each show. Don’t miss this wunnerful wunnerful opportunity to meet, mingle and reminisce about your favorite Welk memories at Iowa PBS’s studios in Johnston.
