By Qandishah Brown

Potatoes are something that we all love and it doesn't matter how it's cooked. These root crops have becoming something permanent in our diets and different people take them in different ways. They can be baked, mashed, hashed, fried, eaten plain with salt, with butter and many more. The options are numerous. The number one thing that you can get out of potatoes is carbohydrates. The number one state to get potatoes from is in Idaho.

What started out as a simple planting by some missionaries in Idaho has turned into an entire industry for this state. They proudly advertise and market having the best potatoes around. In fact, they even have a commission to make sure that this industry is well taken care of. Among the many things that the Idaho potato commission dose is to organize fairs and festivals that promote their potatoes.

Aside from the spudfest there are other fairs that you can visit too; particularly craft fairs and shows. These are always a lot of fun to visit and it also provides a great opportunity to make some money. You can use your imagination and creativity all you want in events such as these. Craft fairs and shows in Idaho are not only for those who stay there. It is open to anyone and everyone interested in these things, which means you too can join in on the fun.
