County Fair was a short-lived daytime game show filled with music and variety.
Gameplay[]
An entire studio was converted into a carnival-like setting for this audience participation show. The host was the "fairground impresario", and the announcer was the Barker.
The studio resembled a theater-in-the-round. The contestants competed in various stunts, skits, games, and contests. They would find everything, from a dart game, to apple-ucking and a wheel of fortune. One of the regular stunts in the television version was called "Punch Your Way Out of a Paper Bag". In this stunt contestants and guest celebrities tried to punch their way out of an eight-foot-high paper bag, with success awarding a jackpot prize (this was only accomplished twice in the show's whole run).
On the April 7, 1959 episode, contestant Manfred Weber was burned when a firecracker exploded in his lap and he was covered in flour, which ignited.[1]
