|  Umatilla County Potato Show
"An Old Fashioned Country Fair" held the
Saturday before Halloween.
The Umatilla County Potato Show was started in
the early 1920's by the Weston Mountain Potato Growers Association. It
became an annual event, with area growers competing for prizes with the
many varieties of table and seed potatoes.
Later it became a show with exhibits of canned and
baked foods, needlework, other fruits, vegetables, and flowers. A
lunch, and dinner was served, bingo was played making a day for the
entire family.
Today, the show has exhibits by local individuals,
churches and organizations. There are few potatoes present, but
vegetables and flowers make an appearance out of local gardens.
