Ever wanted to see a 12,000 pound potato? Then stop by Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties on Thursday, May 24, when the Famous Idaho Potato Tour brings "the worlds' largest spud" to Massillon.
The Idaho Potato Commission, a national supporter of Meals On Wheels, is celebrating its 75th Anniversary by touring the country with the world's largest potato, displayed on a flatbed truck. It's an updated, larger than life version of the photo on the classic Idaho Potato postcard that made the rounds over the years.
The tour is criss-crossing the United States and will be in Ohio most of that week. "Spuddy Buddy," the name of the truck that is carrying the giant spud, will be at Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on May 24. Our building is located at 2363 Nave Road Southeast in Massillon.Visit the tour's website for facts and figures, plus photos and a video of how the super spud was built.
So stop by, and bring the kids -- you've got to see it to believe it! Take your picture with a one-of-a-kind slice of Americana, and celebrate Idaho Potatoes, Meals On Wheels, and our joint effort to fight hunger locally and across the country.
