SALINAS, Calif. - If you see a 48-foot long flatbed trailer hauling a 28-foot long, 12-foot wide and 11-foot tall potato - don't worry, it's just making a historic stop right here in Salinas.

You can see it Wednesday, October 10th, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at the Walmart on N. Davis Rd.

It's part of the 75th anniversary of the Idaho Potato Commission's seven month journey across America to raise money and awareness for meals on wheels.
