Mark Gianinetti received extra help with this year's potato harvest thanks to his daughter's fifth grade class at Two Rivers Community School. Hattie Gianinetti and Mariel Ritacco brought some 40 students to learn firsthand about Carbondale's agricultural legacy. They even got to see Ernie Gianinetti 's inherited potato harvester, estimated to be more than 90 years old, in action. Many of the potatoes were destined for the pit beneath Sopris Park and this year's Potato Day lunch, but some were sent home with the students in return for their work. "Can you hire me when I'm not in school?" asked one student in earnest. Photos by Raleigh Burleigh.
