Congratulations to Rachel Faulkner for winning the Idaho Potato Drop Sweepstakes! Unfortunately her husband is sick with cancer, and they cannot attend this year. The Idaho Potato Commission has given them $2000 as an alternative to the sweepstakes prize.

We are so happy that Famous Idaho Potatoes and the Idaho® Potato Drop can help someone all the way in North Carolina!
