As a result of donations and the work of many individuals, the fries were served to Potato Bowl atten- dees prior to a pep rally and bonfire in anticipation of the annual Potato Bowl University of North Dakota football game. Organizers of the feed intend to send data to publish- ers of the Guiness Book Of World Records for possible insertion among their national records. Potato Bowl Chairman Gregg Halverson said, “Even though we used a different system this year, it was still made in one batch and we’ll be submitting our results to the Guiness Book Of World Records.” The fries were processed by using a continuous feed system developed by Mayo Manufacturing rather than thru a dip frier as was used last year. The fries donated by J. R. Simplot Company, produced approximately 6,000 individual servings to create the world record. While the French fry feed highlight- ed much of Potato Bowl, many other activites were held in con- junction with this week long event. Lyle Currie, known to many people in the potato industry, was Grand Marshal of Potato Bowl along with the University of North Dakota President, Tom Clifford. Currie, now retired, was a county agent for 15 years in North Dakota before becoming the Executive Secretary (now President) of the Red River Valley Potato Growers Association. He held this position for 12 years and during that time was instru- mental in organizing the Association Research Farm south of Grand Forks, North Dakota, and also the USDA Potato Research Lab in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. a l ll ’ u o Yo F d n e p e d r o F m The Choice i r r u o e ve o l l s i l a n o i s s e f o r p d n a y t i l i b a s is yours! s e o t a ta o p d e re A e b d l u o h s e c i o h c r u o y m e s d e t a i c o s s S E L A S M : Y B S m t l o H g e r G t s e g r a l e h t r e w o r G o t a t o P , l o J m i T & r u z a L f f e J n a m l a r o f e c i o h c r u o y s u e k a M n i s e o t a t o p d e r f o r e k c a p h t m o r f s n o i t a r e p o h t i W . s r ( ) . n a l o D l u a P e n o t s n h o s d e e n o t a t o p d e r r u o y c n i s y e l l a Va r e v i R d e R e h t d e t a i c o s s A , s n o i t a c o l e e r h . r e g a n a M - 9 4 9 1 e c n e e b s a h d
