WHAT DO YOU DO WITH a couple of tons extra potatoes? Give them away said Scott and Libi Susag of Granrud’s Lefse Shack in Scobey. It all started in Daniels County when volunteer Felix Gilbertson jumped in and started helping distribute over a thousand pounds of potatoes around the area. It was a busy week and more, as they moved on to Sheridan County where they distributed two shuttles of spuds, one to Valley County and three to Roosevelt County.
It was a great effort by Granrud’s Lefse Shack and Gilbertson Farms. In Poplar, Independence Bank kicked in 100 lbs of hamburger to hand out with 2,200 lbs. spuds at a community center.
