Synopsis:
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 carved in butter at the Minnesota State Fair. 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, shows up to try to win the beauty pageant.
Featuring 16 original songs including, “My Campfire is Burnin’,” “I’m a Bunyan Woman,” “If I Could Win Miss Walleye Queen,” “Pontoon Ladies,” “I’m Just a Pretty Forest Ranger,” and “Our Butter Face Queen.”

The Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network (DEN) is coming to Los Angeles - Are you interested in being a part of it?
Brainchild of Dartmouth professor Gregg Fairbrothers D’76, the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network (DEN) was first started in 2000 with the mission of supporting Dartmouth entrepreneurs. Since then the DEN has helped hundreds of people through public lectures, Greener Ventures conferences, and other networking opportunities. Today the DEN community includes active groups not only in Hanover, but also in New York, Boston, Seattle, and we are now working to launch a DEN chapter in Los Angeles.
While sharing common ties with Hanover and other cities, DEN Los Angeles intends to bringing together alumni based in Southern California from Dartmouth, Thayer, Tuck and the Medical School who are interested in entrepreneurship. Our goal is to create a safe networking environment for aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers, and to foster strong community building, and mentorship.
We are currently building a core team of proactive volunteers to help bring DEN to Los Angeles. Please get in touch with us and share your suggestions for how you would like to be involved. Our first organizational meeting is being planned to take place during the first quarter of 2009.
