Perhaps Build A Spud will get reincarnated. Here’s an idea: It could re-emerge as a vendor at the Idaho Potato Drop. I’ll take the Busted-New-Year’s-Resolution-Tato, please: all the toppings and triple the cheese.
Are we proud of our potato-growin’ dirt cowboys and Idaho agriculture across the board? Yes. Do we chance losing our fingers and toes to frostbite every December to watch an 8x15x10-foot, 3,000 lb potato drop from a crane each year? Also yes.

“Idaho: there’s a unique New Year’s tradition
Idaho Potato Drop/Facebook
The iconic Times Square New Year’s ball drop is one of the most famous traditions when it comes to ringing in the New Year. However, Boise residents have found a more unique (and more state-appropriate) way to welcome January 1. Since 2013, thousands of spec-taters have gathered at the Idaho State Capitol every year to watch the Idaho Potato Drop – a giant, illuminated GlowTato is lowered from above as the clock strikes midnight. We’d expect nothing less from Idaho.”
