Cathy Wurzer plays Midway games at the fair

Morning Edition producer Curtis Gilbert scouted the State Fair Midway last week to determine which game has the best chance for me to win a stuffed animal. Curtis determined that the game where you break plates by throwing balls would give a player the best shot at winning.
So Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer went to the Fair and found the plate-breaking booth and carny Robert Kitt. It didn't go well.
After five throws, Cathy was down to her last ball and had yet to break a plate. The sixth one was the charm. She broke one plate and got a booby prize, a small stuffed dog which she named Robert, in honor of Robert Kitt.
