Did you hear? Winners in the 2017 Potato Lover’s Month display contest – and their category managers – are going on vacation.
The Eagle-based Idaho Potato Commission announced prizes for this year’s contest, including six grand prize offerings of Caribbean cruises. Winning entrants and category managers can select eastern or western Caribbean cruises on Celebrity Cruises Silhouette, a retail value of $5,700 per prize.
The package includes:
- Ocean-view staterooms (double occupancy)
