104th Annual Umatilla County Potato Show

The Annual Umatilla County Potato Show was started in 1922 as a way to show off the variety of crops that could be profitably produced on the land in Umatilla County and to encourage diversification. The Umatilla County Potato Show was started by the Weston Mountain Potato Growers Association. It became an annual event, with area growers competing for prizes with the many varieties of table and seed potatoes.

Farming is no longer what it was in 1922, but the Umatilla County Potato Show continues to be held in October of each year. It still features locally grown produce — both fresh and canned — but has expanded to include a local arts and crafts fair highlighting handiwork such as quilts, paintings, photography, and baked goods.
