OMG It's Idaho Spud Day!!

Yes, today starts the official "Spud Day" celebrations in Eastern Idaho.

For a full schedule of events, please click here.

Highlights Include:

A "Miss Russet" beauty pageant (I think, in this one, the more eyes you have the better...)

Tater Trots and Spud Runs

A Spud Tug (WOW that sounds dirty)

...and much much more.

Yes folks, this is how we do it in Eastern Idaho.  YEEEE HAW!!!

oh... and I almost forgot... this year's theme is "All Buttered Up."  No, you can't make this shit up.

    I thought the Idaho potato fetish was just a stereotype.

    No "Mr. Potato Head" themed event? That theme, though, is awesome!

    I'm curious how much does it cost to advertise on your site?

    I can't imagine the sheer joy of living in a place that actually dedicates a whole day to the potato.

    Whatever, hun.
    All Buttered Up sounds like the best theme, ever.
    On second thought, it might make the tug a bit tricky ;)

    Please be sure to take video of the spud tug so I can add it to my potato porn collection. Ya know, if I HAD a porn collection. Which I totally DON'T!

    But on the off chance that I did...ahem.

    You totally need to tell me more about the potato festival. I spent time in a town that celebrated tuna. Even to the point of throwing huge frozen fish

    We could combine the two for some awesome takeaway fish and chips
