ANOTHER GRATE POTATO DAYS Photos by Raleigh Burleigh
Carbondale’s 116th annual Potato Days saw a little bit of everything — rain, shine, politics, a tractor-pull down Main Street, countless smiling faces, bountiful harvests, contra dancin’, record hawkin’, cowboy coffee, local spirits, a potato piñata, pancake breakfast, youth gymkhana, rainbows, animals, tubular puns, barbecue lunch, apple pressing, historic reminiscing, hope, grief and so much more! Bob Piscura graciously addressed the
community on behalf of Seed Peace – Casey’s Fund Supporting Farmers, this year’s nonprofit benefactor. A big thanks to everyone who helped make this community event extra spudtacular.
