The 13th Annual Potato Drop in Boise, ID

The new year was ushered in by the 13th Annual Potato Drop in front of the state capital in Boise, Idaho last night.  You can view it on KTVB.com. 

A huge model of a potato is lowered from a crane and is accompanied by fireworks and the national anthem.  If you get tired of watching huge, ostentatious celebrations in the big cities of the world, the Potato Drop is a refreshing chance to experience a taste of Middle America.  It's the real deal.  It is one of the reasons why I enjoy Idaho so much.

Try it.  You will like it.
