The Portage Potato Festival is fast approaching. Festival Co-Chair Cindy McDonald says they're still looking for volunteers.

"We have most of our volunteers but we are still looking for some," McDonald continues. "We need volunteers in a bunch of different areas, so if you can give up a couple hours of your time we would really appreciate it."

McDonald adds volunteers get t-shirts, food, and more for their help. The event will be on August 10th and 11th, and this will be the 15th year for the festival. This year will see the return of the 'Portage has Talent' contest, as well as the Baby Spud contest, where babies aged 0 to 24 months get dressed in potato costumes. Simplot and McCain will be at the festival on Saturday with French fries.
