Eddy Arnold is host for “County Fair,” the first of seven county fairs he will head up during the hot-weather months. Guests are Patti page, the Cowsills, Mr. Ballantine and Jack Burns. The Cowsills sing “In Need of A Friend,” but Patti really sets the tone of the show by resurrecting such old county-fair-type hits as “Tennessee Waltz” and others. Carl Ballantine does some amusing magic tricks, and comedian Jack Burns wanders around the fair desperately trying to win something for his wife. Eddy sings with Pattie and by himself, and the ensemble joins in the finale, “Cotton Candy and a Toy Balloon.”
