Idahoans love two things, and we'rehat we're famous for them: veterans and potatoes. The Gem State is so well known for caring for veterans that many move from other states because of our veterans’ services.

The potato feed will move to Star's brand new Liberty Hall from 6pm-8pm. The event is one of a kind, combing food, fun, service, song, and family. Veterans eat for free and others can eat by donating five dollars.

How Do They Cook All Those Potatoes?

The dinner begins early in the morning as a select core of elite volunteers litterally cook thousands of potatoes that are fresh and hot for attending the dinner. Folks are encouraged to put their favorite fixings on their potato.
