Halfway there: IPC’s giant potato visits D.C.

June 14, 2012

Halfway through its seven-month cross-country tour, the 28-foot-long marketing tool of the Idaho Potato Commission stopped in Washington D.C. on June 12.

The commission’s “Great Big Idaho Potato Truck” visited the U.S. Capitol, where commission president Frank Muir was on hand for the presentation of $100,000 to the Meals on Wheels Association of America. Idaho Sens. James Risch and Mike Crapo met with Muir and Enid Borden, president of the Alexandria, Va.-based Meals on Wheels organization.
