A small-town Texan farmers, the Frake family, head for the Texas State Fair in Dallas. The father is looking for a blue ribbon for his prize hog, Blue Boy, mom is looking for glory in her cooking, and the kids are looking for love.
"This 1962 remake of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's 1945 movie musical, State Fair, stars Pat Boone and Pamela Tiffin as a pair of innocent Texas country mice who find complicated romance with, respectively, Ann-Margret and Bobby Darin at the titular big event. Alice Faye and Tom Ewell are their concerned parents. The Academy Award®-winning classic, "It Might As Well Be Spring," and "It's a Grand Night for Singing" are joined by five new songs with music and lyrics by Rodgers written for this remake"--Publisher website.
