About this Event

Idaho has a story. What's yours?

Join us for Pass the POTATO—a community gathering that connects neighbors through food, place, and purpose. This event is built around the POTATO Movie—a 90-minute documentary celebrating everyday Idahoans doing Idaho things the Idaho way.

After the film, Shannon McGuire will facilitate a kitchen table conversation that invites every person to share their Idaho story. Through structured prompts and reflection, participants begin to see how much they have in common with the neighbors sitting right next to them.

This event is free with registration encouraged! REGISTER HERE.

  • 5:00 PM — Doors Open
  • 5:30 PM — Screening: POTATO
  • 7:00 PM — Guided Conversation and Q&A
