The festival is named after the Clark Seed Potato Farm, which was prominent in the community in the 1940s and 1950s. The event features vendors, a pancake breakfast, tours of the old Richford school and servings of potato dishes, including potato soup and potato ice cream. That's right, Wilcox said. Cornell University students prepare the dish. The recipe is to dip french fries in chocolate and mix them in with vanilla ice cream.
Organizers swear it's delicious.
