PHOTOS: 6-ton steel-framed potato visits Pasadena’s Fork in the Road

October 19, 2012

Pasadena’s 18-foot-tall Fork in the Road may have finally met its match Tuesday: A six-ton potato made a stop just in time for lunch.

The Great Big Idaho Potato Truck made the stop at the Fork Tuesday as part of a tour to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Idaho Potato Commission.

The fork may have trouble piercing the steel-framed polymer-concrete spud, which also serves as a storage container for food donations collected for the Meals on Wheels Association of America.

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.
