The Great Big Idaho Potato Truck will visit Post Falls on its way to Silverwood Theme Park and then across the country. This super-sized “Idaho Spud” is 28-foot long, 12-foot wide and 11-and-a-half foot tall. It was built in honor of the Idaho Potato Commission’s 75th anniversary. It is also trying to bring awareness to “Meals on Wheels”. This Friday ( September 7th, 2012) the potato will be on public display in the parking lot shared by Post Falls City Hall and the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce on Fourth Avenue. 4:30pm - 6:00pm: Post Falls City Hall 408 North Spokane Street. On Saturday ( September 8th) it will be at the Silverwood Theme Park from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. More here. (Photo from Facebook Friend Pam Jank's site).
Question: What would you like to see Idaho known for, other than spuds?
