Summary
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 in 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. Things get ugly! Phil Olson writes in the Author's Notes that this is his fifth play (third musical) about the emotionally conservative nature of Scandinavians and their reluctance to hug or show affection.
