Ever tried mashed potato wrestling?

“People come out for a good time and there are just so many events where that happens. Lots of folks just like to watch the events, but others prepare for them every year. It becomes a tradition for entire families.”

BARNESVILLE - In Minnesota, we celebrate everything. Other communities celebrate various vegetables, flowers and animals - in Barnesville, it's the potato. via St. Cloud Times

As a worker for my first year on Potato Days, I found that the whole town turned out to help, watch and have a good time at the events. The two days working the street events and some of the booths for the Churches, I found everyone in a good mood and happy to be there. Today most people are so busy to visit or just enjoy them self’s. The weather was the best I've ever seen for this time of the year. To the volunteers that worked right next to me, Thanks for your help and all your smiles... Tom S. Tim D. Scott, Eline,Diana and many,many others. Hope to see you all again next year...
