The 166th Annual
Tater Day |
|
On the first Monday of April, the
streets of Benton fill with thousands of people, all who have come to
the annual celebration of the sweet potato. Tater Day started in 1842
with the trading and selling of sweet potatoes. Tater Day features a
parade, flea market, arts and crafts, beauty pageants, carnival rides,
barbeque cook off competition, Tater trot & run, and all the “good eats”
you would expect to find at an old time country fair. For more
