The marketing efforts of the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) are always impressive.
September 6, Spuddy Buddy and the Big Idaho Potato Tour arrived in Idaho Falls, Idaho for a sold-out minor league baseball game.
The IPC handed out t-shirts, set up a potato bar and even changed the name of the hometown team. The team wore jerseys with the same look and name as it had in 1939: Russets.
Tater Team member and truck driver Melissa thanks the sell-out crowd for coming out. IPC’s Travis Blacker is to her right.

The Big Idaho Potato Truck always draws a crowd.
Idaho Falls Chukars became the Russets for one special night.
