Gaining in popularity every year, the Potato Sack Fashion Show will once again take center stage Saturday at 11:00 am. The tradition of the wearing of potato sacks dates back to the 30's when the common Potato Days attire was vests made out of potato sacks. In fact, at that time, business owners caught without their vests would be fined!

Today, potato sack fashions have been expanded to include everything from tuxedos to bathing suits, wedding gowns to bib overalls. This year's theme is 'Your Minnesota Spirit.'
