In fact, many of my relatives work in the potato industry. Blackfoot is also known for the Eastern Idaho State Fair. This fair is legendary to the locals and non-locals alike. My parents still reminisce the days before me and whenever they do, they always bring up the fair. Telling their stories of crazy fair food and amazing
