That's a big spud! Giant curiosity visits Tri-Cities
KENNEWICK-- you're driving around Wednesday, you'll want to keep an eye out for this!
The Great Big Idaho Potato Truck will visit Kennewick on its way across the country to raise funds and awareness for Meals on Wheels.
It's hauling one super-sized "spud"... a 28-foot long, 12-foot wide and 11-and-a-half foot tall "Idaho potato" . . . specially built in honor of the Idaho Potato Commission's 75th anniversary.
Of course, the largest actual potato ever grown weighed in at about 11 pounds . . . this fake spud is a recreation of a famous postcard showing a giant potato on a flatbed truck.
You can see it for yourself Wednesday, at the Kennewick Yokes, from 1-to-3.
