Potato Olympics

Wait....the what???

Years ago, Aerah Hardin, Executive Director of the Be Good Foundation, was inspired by her competitive nieces and nephews and their love of Cheese Balls to create the Cheese Ball Olympic Games. This annual event included her four nieces and nephews, sometimes additional cousins, and anyone brave enough to join.

After moving to Idaho in 2020, Aerah realized that the Cheese Ball Olympics had filled a significant purpose in her life. With a little introspection and a lot of therapy, she decided to resurrect the event in Idaho, transforming it into the Potato Olympics. What better place to share her love for silly, ultra-competitive games than at Rebecca's Private Idaho, with hundreds of competitors from across the US?

The Potato Olympics will be held on Saturday at the RPI expo starting at 10:30 (or whenever the Be Good Ride is over). These will be fun, 2-person team games in a single-elimination March Madness style tournament. The final team will be crowned the official gold medal RPI Potato Olympic champions.

Costumes are encouraged, and a competitive spirit is essential. The games are open to all ages, but no age handicaps are given. Participants need skill, agility, a close partner, and a willingness to look and feel silly!

The games are free and open to anyone who wants to sign up.
