Introduction :
Tater Day Festival is all about
celebrating the humble sweet potato, "Tater" is a nickname for potato.
This festival was started in the year of 1843. Farmers from the
countryside would bring their products to the town square to sell or
trade on county court days. One of the things they would bring is sweet
potatoes, which grow well in the Southern climate. Now-a-days this
festival is highlighted by a large parade with floats, marching bands,
and a beauty queen. So spend the day with people you know and love, and
make fun and merriment with them on this special day.
