The village of Potter was bustling with activity on Saturday, August 31st as the 93rd Potter Days celebration was formally kicked off by a 5k color run and walk.
The paint run, which promotes community activity and fun, hosted over 30 athletes looking to sweat in the summer sun while enjoying a little extra color in their day.
Part of the annual tradition, the Potter parade hosted different local organizations, over 200 dirt-bikers as well as two Potter Days Queens, a tie for the first time in 22 years. Following the parade through Main Street, a craft show commenced on the green space by the bank. A collection of multiple vendors with homemade items and bouncy houses for the kids to enjoy, and a face painter was even on-site for the event.
Potter is a quaint community proud of its history, evident through not only the community attitude but also by the special trinkets you find throughout town. Crocheted posts and benches, a freshly painted Herbie Husker greeting you as you enter the town, and the preserved architecture of days long past. Home to the legendary tin roof sundae as well as a smorgasbord of other historical offerings, Potter is a well-kept community actively engaging with the surrounding areas. A glistening gem just off the interstate and the Old Lincoln Highway, look for the spray-painted pennies on the sidewalks downtown and you'll know you're right at home.
