Synopsis

A Don’t Hug Me County Fair is the summer sequel to the smash hit musical comedies Don’t Hug Me and A Don’t Hug Me Christmas Carol !

It’s summer time and the Bunyan County Fair is approaching, the biggest thing that’s happened in Bunyan Bay since the winter carnival snowplow parade.

This year the Bunyan County Fair means one thing to Gunner and Clara Johnson, owners of a little bar called The Bunyan; The Miss Walleye Queen Competition.

Bernice, the pretty waitress, sees this as her big chance to win Miss Walleye Queen, to be discovered, and – more important – to have her face carved in butter at the Minnesota State Fair.

The stakes have never been higher in Bunyan Bay.

The trouble begins when Gunner’s wife, Clara, decides she also wants to win Miss Walleye Queen.

Bigger trouble arrives when Gunner’s estranged twin sister, Trigger, (played by Gunner) shows up to try to win the beauty pageant.

The show features 18 original songs, including “My Campfire is Burnin’,” “I’m a Bunyan Woman,” “If I Could Win Miss Walleye Queen,” “Pontoon Ladies,” “I’m Just a Pretty Forest Ranger” and “Our Butter Face Queen.”

With only 5 characters, a simple set, and no band required , A Don’t Hug Me County Fair is very inexpensive to produce.
