Oceanside High School performed the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “State Fair” last weekend. The musical tells the story of the farming Frake family and their adventures at the Iowa State Fair in 1946 Des Moines over three days. Parents Abel and Melissa are hoping to win few blue ribbons for their boar and mincemeat, but siblings Margy and Wayne are looking for romance.
