11th Annual Potato Drop
This year marks the 11th year since the annual Boise Potato Drop came about. A night filled with local vendors and charities, music performances, a ski and snowboarding exhibition, and lots more... ending with an 18-foot long, 15-foot tall, 10-foot wide, and 3,000 lb glowing potato slowly being lowered and fireworks setting off around it at the stroke of midnight.
