KTVB was on hand broadcasting live across NBC stations in Cecil D. Andrus Park featuring

music, sporting events and live art performances. Starting at 3:00 PM, the Grown In Idaho®

Main Stage came to life with live music, while athletes tested their meddle at the Urban-Air 2020

it’s kind, utilizing tow-in winch systems and custom-built features from Olympic Snow Park

designer Ryan Neptune of Gateway Parks and top athlete Mason Kennedy of Onslaught Crew.

McCall Winter Carnival dazzled crowds with world-class ice sculpting, while Wrestle Club battled once again for the “Potato Belt Championship”. There was much fun to be had with activities and non-profit vendor booths in the free, heated Mountain America Credit Union Family Tent. People sampled delicious local food and beverage in the food court after touring the all ages beer garden and vendor camp located throughout the park. There were plenty of photo opportunities with Spuddy Buddy and the Big Idaho® Potato Truck!

The Eagle Rock Girls joined us in our elegant VIP Room with craft-cocktails, Hors d’oeuvre’s from Big Daddy’s BBQ and live entertainment. VIP guests experience 360 degree views from inside our crystal clear tent, while enjoying intimate acoustic performances from The Rice Brothers and Matt Hopper. DJ Jett Rokk blasted off from the new LED dance floor and into orbit with a Jett-fueled setlist. VIP guests won big prizes like a snowboard Tamarack Resort mountain passes and a night in the Idaho® Potato Hotel!

At 6:00PM, the world-famous #GlowTato flew to its evening perch during the Idaho® Potato Rise. Shortly after, the inaugural Idaho® Potato Drop 5K race began. As midnight approached, world-renown recording artists Cowboy Junkies serenaded Spec-Taters into 2020. As the countdown to new year began, Inland Crane ‘Dropped’ it like it’s hot to a World-Class Fireworks display!
