A Don't Hug Me County Fair

A Don't Hug Me County Fair is the hilarious summer sequel to the

smash hit musicals Don't Hug Me and A Don't Hug Me Christmas Carol.

It's a stand alone musical that doesn't require you to see the others in

order to fully enjoy it.

It’s county fair time in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota, the biggest

thing that’s happened since the winter carnival snowplow parade.

This year the Bunyan County Fair means two things to Gunner and

Clara Johnson, owners of a little bar called The Bunyan; The big

County Fair Fishing Contest and 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 trouble begins when Gunner’s wife, Clara, decides she also

wants to win Miss Walleye Queen, and when Gunner’s estranged

twin sister, Trigger, shows up to try to win the beauty pageant,

things get ugly.

Featuring 18 original songs including:

● Our Butter Face Queen
● Pontoon Ladies

● I'm Just a Pretty Forest Ranger
● My Campfire is Burnin' For You

● If I Could Win Miss Walleye Queen

● I'm a Bunyan Woman
