A few hundred line dancers and a cow-centric movie at the Pasture Drive-In are the latest additions to the 35th Annual Manhattan Potato Festival slated for Aug. 21.
In fact, it is officially the 1st Annual Spud Fest Hoedown at the Pasture Drive-In: Dancing In The Dirt. The dancing â both line and swing â will be led by the Outlaw Country Dancers. It s a family event with no alcohol.
There also might be a 5K Spud Run preceding the festival parade at 7:30 a.m., but as of press time, Volunteer Coordinator Lori Myers had yet to nail down the details. But plenty of things are for sure: As the official T-shirt states, âYou Canât Keep A Good Spud Down.â
