The Merrill Lions Club has graciously supported the Potato Festival for decades. This civic group’s many members and volunteers spend countless hours preparing for this event. The community of Merrill may be small, but we are mighty, and we believe in celebrating our historical ancestry with a massive taste of POTATO.
