A Mashed Potato Wrestling Competition

Every place has something that makes it unique. While that may be a special event or something of the sort, Clark, South Dakota, has its own unique thing: a mashed potato wrestling competition. While that may sound like one of the strangest things that you have ever heard of, rest assured that it does exist and occurs each year. It is known as Potato Day, and the people of Clark, South Dakota, have been enjoying the festivities together since 1972.

It is funny enough that there is a day dedicated just to potatoes, but add onto that a potato wrestling competition, and you would have it in the state of South Dakota.
