2005
Medaryville Potato Fest

One of the featured highlights of this year’s event was the “Heirloom Potato” project which involved the ordering, planting, caring for and harvesting of 16 varieties of potatoes. Many individuals worked on the project, and the Gingham Pals Extension Homemakers used the potatoes to prepare an extraordinary number of savory dishes which were served at a “Taste of Tater Town” exhibit. The seed for these potatoes was purchased through the Seed Savers Organization. The whole project won enthusiastic praise from Potato Fest visitors.

A highlight of the fest was the 100th anniversary celebration of the Old Medaryville Calaboose. Built in 1905 as a jail building for $757, the structure has since served as a town hall and fire house. The historic structure is listed on the National Register.
