Potter Days celebrates community, past and present

POTTER – The streets of Potter were bustling last weekend as residents and visitors turned out for the annual Potter Days event.

Festivities began on Thursday when Brooke Glass was crowned Miss Potter 2015 along with her attendants Cortney Lewis and Alana Thies.

Throughout four days, the community hosted more than a dozen activities, including competitions, a free barbecue, parade and a street dance. On Sunday, the event concluded with a golf tournament at Prairie Pines Golf Course.

Erika Revord, a member of Potter Days organizing committee, said the celebration – which included a reunion for the Potter school's class of 1965 – brings together numerous volunteers.

On Saturday afternoon, as a duck race sponsored by the Potter-Dix High School cheerleaders took place nearby – with brightly colored rubber ducks floating down the street on a stream of water provided by a water tanker from the community's volunteer fire department – she said the 84th annual Potter Days was going well.

The return of a sand volleyball tournament had been a big hit, she said, and preparations were underway for that evening's street dance.
