The Cottonelle Superior Clean Country Fair was bought to Chicago by Cottonelle bathroom tissue and the Amazon Treasure Truck, and was highlighted by “clean” improv shows by Dratch and her band of improv friends. This event also included a “Peachy Clean” Finger Paint Art demonstration, an Arcade Game row, an Upgradeed Bathroom Art Gallery, The “Cleaning Ripples” Slide and (answering the age old question of over or under for a toilet paper roll) “How Do You Roll?” survey.
