Huble Homestead to host Potato Festival this weekend

PRINCE GEORGE — Huble Homestead Historic Site hosts the Potato Festival this Sunday and Monday, September 1 and 2.

There will be nine varieties of heirloom potatoes that have been growing on site in the Huble garden all summer long. They will range from the hard-to-get Haida and Cariboo “outlaw” potatoes to the less-notable Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain. The weekend will also feature a “tater theme” with activities such as the “dress your spud” contest, and tuber themed games like hot potato and sack races.

Both days will also include heritage demonstrations including the treadle pole lathe, cheese making, ice cream, and butter making.
