Let's all head to Benton, Kentucky this weekend. It's the annual Tater Day Festival!
Tater Day is a festival held on the first Monday each April in Benton, KY. But don't be fooled by the name - this is (unfortunately) not a celebration of the noble potato, but the sweet potato. According to the lore built up around the event, it's supposedly one of the oldest indigenous festivals in the state, and grew out of the old "court day" events dating back to 1843, when farmers would set up selling and trading their livestock and produce in the town square.
So in a couple of days, I want to be the first to say Happy Tater Day, maniacs!!!
