Potato Days

Potato Days is a day full of many activities for all ages.
Centennial Village hosts Potato Days on the second Saturday in September. There are many demonstrations, hands on activities, entertainment, and even food.

You can learn about how people used to do things a long time ago.
Some of the activities may be rope making, butter churning, tortilla making, adobe making, and even washing socks using a tub, washboard, and wringer.

Food and drinks are sold by organizations, and of course, there are potatoes!
Stuffed baked potatoes with your choice of toppings are one of the food items enjoyed by visitors to Potato Day.
