Potatoes


The children are trying to earn money for another small four-wheeler and so during harvest they went out and picked up the baker sized potatoes from the field that were left behind. We came home and they weighed them into ten pound bags. We made two giant signs, one colored and the other one black because it was faster and then some smaller ones to hold. We went down to the main road and they had a lot of fun selling potatoes and giving out recipes to go with them. They made sure to tell their customers that they needed to keep them in a cool, dark place and to say thank you. We went down and did this four times and we were very successful every time and sold all the bags we had each time. In Idaho instead of lemonade stands, I guess we have potato stands!!! ha ha

Was the potato stand a hit? Either way, it sounds like it would be fun, we loved having stands when we were kids.
