How can find a news clip from 1986 0r 1987 when i was in middle school in a pewee herman contest?

Question

i don't remember the news station? where do i begin?

Answer 1

Ask your school friends, one of them might remember the station, Was it a local station?  Ask the librarian to research local history to try to pinpoint the year and get more details. Check the archives of the local paper to find the date of the contest then enquire at the local stations about clips.
