State Fair
A Rodger's and Hammerstein's Production
Set against the colorful backdrop of an American heartland tradition, State Fair follows the Frake family as they leave behind the routine of the farm for three days of adventure at the annual Iowa State Fair. Mom and Pop have their hearts set on blue ribbons while their daughter and son find romance and heartbreak on the midway.
The proceeds from the production of State Fair benefited the Osseo Optimists Club so that they may further their work by assisting the youth of the community.
