Dylan Cline came up with that great idea. He created the grandly named
Idaho New Year’s Commission and
Grotato. Dylan and his supporters
raised money, took $10,000 over to Weiser and had Sharolyn and Chris Schofield build a 16-foot long foam-covered replica of an Idaho spud.
You can watch the
KTVB video or look at photos from the
Idaho Statesman and
Idaho Press Tribune.
Boise State Public Radio
described the spud as being Subaru-sized. The Schofields previously built the truck-mounted Big Idaho Potato that I
blogged about in May 2012.
