Blog: KGEM Monrovia Holiday Special 2012 Video

KGEM's 2012 Holiday Special featuring local Monrovia video producers, performers and businesses. Happy Holidays from the folks at KGEM!

A full list of K-GEM's holiday videos can be found here.

Hello fellow residents of Monrovia!

On behalf of all of us here at KGEM, your local community television provider that has been bringing you local volunteer produced cable programming for over 25 years, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.

This year our staff and volunteer producers went all out creating holiday programming thanks to Santa and his elves coming out to the station to sprinkle magic dust on the cameras.

Well, actually we're able to do this holiday program due to some great local sponsors featured in the video you're about to see that donated to ensure this block of holiday programs reached your t.v. and computer screens.

KGEM exists to provide local coverage of government and educational programs and to give volunteers like you the chance to produce their own t.v. shows.  We're a non-profit 501c3 that can do more great programming thanks to sponsors like the wonderful local businesses featured in the Holiday Special. 

You can contact KGEM to volunteer, make your own t.v. program, or make a donation to expand our slate of programs by either calling the studio at 626.357.4974 or visiting the website at www.kgem.tv.  You can also come by the studio at 847 E. Olive Ave. Monrovia CA. 91016.

The holiday block of programming is playing on KGEM, channel 3 Time/Warner, channel 6 Champion cable, from now until after New Years.  If you missed it in person, you can also see the annual Monrovia Christmas parade as well. 

You can go to www.kgem.tv and click the "Schedules" tab to see actual showtimes for the cable airings.

The Holiday Special on Youtube is set up as a playlist, so you can skip to each performance by clicking on one of the icons to the right or if you let it play, it will play in sequence.

My advice is to let this playlist run in the backgound as you do other holiday activities, it's a wonderful mood setter and you're supporting local businesses, local artists and your local KGEM studio by sharing.

Happy Holidays and see you next year!

I'm excited to view these videos. KGEM has an amazing group of employees and volunteers. I think one of those volunteers who helped might be related to me.

"What about the hard-working Mexican people..." Did you just write that? Really? O pleaseRead More tell me you are kidding.

See other post about this: It needed to happen...(Ancient Burial Ground that was desecrated) but IRead More maintain we should get some sort of "cleansing" or burn some incense/sage or call for an exorcism. I believe the evil mojo needs to be banished before we build again.........

Hi Therese, I am good friends with Star Shields. He is a busy face painter, and often needs back-upRead More either at the Summer festival in Laguna Beach, now underway, or with one of his other commitments. If you're interested, I would be happy to give you his contact details via email.
Therese B. June 8, 2013 at 11:08 pm
Hi Donna! Star is a good friend of mine too!!! He is more an airbrush artist (and a darn goodRead More one!!) then a face painter. But he is truly a legend in his craft. I have been lucky enough to work with him and learn from him too! I just wish he wasn't so far away :( Nice to hear from you!

Oh wow! what a small world! Best, Donna

Old fashioned country vet "patchin' up" was some of the cool stuff I was taught growingRead More up. Splinting a bird's wing or leg, getting a thorn out of a slightly infected cat or dog paw was part of learning. I am NOT saying to eliminate/not see a REAL vet, however some things can be handled at home with a bit of basic medical knowledge and Bactine/hot clean water and towels/tweezers and some loving hands to hold Fido or Snowball when you can do it yourself. I am already bracing myself for the angry openly hostile messages this post might draw, so it's OK if you feel the need to do so. Watching some of my older friends who have limited income spend THOUSANDS of dollars for a beloved pet out of pressure/and what I call "pusher's guilt" sorta made me feel like mentioning that in the old days, some of the animal care was done by a wise farm woman/man...not all vets are crooks, and not all pet needs need put you in the poor house.

I love the old farmers remedies, particularly for mange however when dealing with elderly animalsRead More and certain conditions you just get around it. The farmers remedies are often slow working causing more pain then an animal needs to go through. I try holistic meds quite often for some bacterial infections and they are slow too. Cats in particular are difficult treat. They are great in some situations but in others the it is not appropriate. I will attempt the at home first then the vet. My recent situation was a neglected kitty I rescued with a 1.25 lb cyst I had no idea she had the cyst just thought she was matted. I was trying to get her shaved. Kitty's don't cooperate for though things. One thing led to another she ends up on the operating table. No rescue groups would help me and that's where my anger is directed. I have been donating to different groups monthly for more then 20 years. At one point three different groups at the same time. No one helped me when I needed it. I'm done.

@Lynn: Reading your posts I felt some anger FOR you. HUGE animal lover here, and ALL my pets areRead More rescues/fosters except for the Robo dwarf hamster. Love my cats, and know there just some things you can't do to a kitty without risking kitty AND your own safety. What you have experienced was pretty much the exact thing I saw some older friends go thru...Care about their pets, want to get help, and can't seem to get any or get SOME but with hidden costs and "guilt trips" at the end. If no one said it, thanks for helping critters out and giving when you could. Sorry it was not rewarded.

Gasp! Seriously? OMG--Poltergeist get behind me!!
rubberband June 3, 2013 at 01:48 pm
Donna...Poor Donna. My dear, it is too late. Call that weird yet cute little tiny lady toRead More "clean" your home and get your kids out of the television. ......oh and if you have a pool...DO NOT GO SWIMMING.
Dan Crandell June 3, 2013 at 01:58 pm
Love you Donna. Your comment should have been "Poltergeist get ""thee""Read More behind me"!!!!! All in fun.

I've recently spoken to Gayle. She's fine, just taking a bit of a mental hygiene breather.

I am glad to hear she is good. I don't do facebook so I will simply take it that she will commentRead More again. She was my first "Patch" debate with someone on the other side of issues......You know, sentimental thing for your first time.... LOL. Just tell her Buzzlightyear "Marty" said hi if either of you two talk to her.
