I always thought the best dates with the Polack Show were the lengthy runs at Medinah Temple in Chicago early in the season and the L.A. County Fair later in the year as seen above.
This is when Parley Baer would have photos taken for the following years program.

Is this Parley's daughter Kim
I was watching an episode of Gun Smoke last night that had Parley Baer in the cast. It is on YouTube season 5 episode 29 Silent Death Secret Death. There is another program tape on YouTube called Two Chairs Waiting #243 & #244 that has Parley Baer talking about his career. The publishing date was July 9, 2013.
Bob, I asked my wife the same question and she said No! But she and Dale were with Barbara almost constantly when they visited the show.
Parley once told me his best role was Marlon Brando's side kick in the Young Lions.
He added that early one morning while on location in Paris, the cast was having breakfast at their Hotel when a young French actress in the cast, back in France for the first time in years, recognized a friend entering the room, leaped from the table dumping a pitcher of hot water into Marlon Brando's lap.
Brando jumped up, quickly dropped his pants, grabbed a bottle of seltzer water and began spraying his crotch.
Parley said Dean Martin leaned over to him and said, "Let's all act like we don't know him!"
I was in the Army when this movie was released and saw it amongst a Military audience.
It was a raucous occasion!
BARBARA's right. This is not Kim Baer. I've known her since she was 12, when Mabel Stark introduced me to the Baer family. BOB mentions GUNSMOKE. Old Time Radio fans
know Parley created the role of Chester, when GUNSMOKE had its 10-season run on CBS. Many industry people agree that the role of the Nazi Sgt. Brandt in THE YOUNG LIONS should have been Parley's Best Supporting Oscar role. As the industry also knows, the Oscars are a popularity contest among insiders. Parley was a moral man, a staunch conservative in ultra-liberal Hollywood. He was not nominated. More, when he died in late '02, his name and portrait were not included in the Memorial segment of the 2003 Oscar-cast, after both Kim and Dale requested his inclusion. Parley had been a member of the Academy for 41 years, and they ignored his passing.
It was Have Gun Will Travel, not Gunsmoke I was watching. I do remember radio shows in the fifties when I was a little kid. I might have listened to that if it was on the radio at that time.
Might this gal be Tommy Obrian's daughter. He was around the Memphis, TN Zoo also worked around the Daily show quite a few years ?
