TRENTON - A sock-it-to-me finish for the 1968 New Jersey State Fair is assured by the coming of the Cowsills - six singing, swinging brothers, a sister, a mother and a father.

It's fitting that the nation's foremost musical family of the moment will be in Trenton to add to the activity of the fair on closing day, Sunday. The Cowsills will present a free grandstand performance at 7:30 p.m.

The Cowsills have won their following with hits like "The Rain, the Park and Other Things," "We Can Fly" and their newest "Indian Lake," now a top ten seller.

The singing Cowsills number seven: mother Barbara; Bill, 20; Bob, 18; Paul, 16; Barry, 13; John, 12; and Susie, 9. Father Bud, an ex-Navy man, is general manager; Dick, Bob's twin, is road manager; Bill and Bob collaborate both as songwriters and as producers. Most members of the clan play instruments, too.
