Sand Springs –
A giant potato rolled into the Tulsa area on Wednesday.
The Great Big Idaho Potato Truck visited the Tulsa area on its way across the country to raise funds and awareness for Meals on Wheels and to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Idaho Potato Commission.
Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous “Grown in Idaho®” seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho’s ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
