Sack Fashion Show |
The
tradition of the wearing of potato sacks dates back to the
30's when the common Potato Days attire was vests made out
of potato sacks. In fact, at that time, business owners caught
without their vests would be fined! Today, potato sack
fashions have been expanded to include everything from tuxedos
to bathing suits, wedding gowns to bib overalls.
