🥔🏁 THAT’S A WRAP ON THE FIRST-EVER POTATO DERBY! 🏁🥔
What a spud-tacular time we had last Saturday! Our first-ever Potato Derby was packed with some seriously speedy spuds.

Our young racers transformed ordinary potatoes into one-of-a-kind race cars, complete with wheels, axles, and plenty of personality. Then it was time to put their creations to the test on the track!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and made our very first Potato Derby such a success.
