In this rousing celebration of love and laughter in America's heartland, each member of the Frake family is out for a different prize when they attend their state fair. Father wants a blue ribbon for his favorite pet pig. First prize, and only first prize, will do for Mom's entry in the pie-baking contest. For their son and daughter (Dick Haymes and Jeanne Crain), the hunt is on for true love. This Rodgers and Hammerstein score features "It's a Grand Night for Singing," and the Academy Award®-winning song "It Might As Well Be Spring." (official distributor synopsis)
