Clark, SD - Has an Annual Mashed Potato Wrestling Event

Probably home to one of America's most unusual events, Clark, South Dakota's claim to fame is that it hosts yearly mashed potato wrestling matches. Wrestlers dress up in costumes and face off with rivals in what must be some riveting storylines. The best part is that travelers can partake in the antics as well, which are usually held in a small pool filled with mashed potatoes.

There are also more "traditional" festivities at each event if wrestling in a giant container filled with mashed potatoes isn't your thing. However, to truly get the experience, it wouldn't hurt to sign up for a friendly match.
