The Merrill Lions Club has graciously supported the Potato Festival for decades. The many members and volunteers of this civic group 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 huge taste of POTATO.
