Barnesville, MN (WDAY TV) -- Barnesville is celebrating its annual Potato Days Festival as tens of thousands of people get set to invade the small Minnesota town.

Some of the most memorable moments from Potato days no doubt come from tonight's Mashed Potato Wrestling. Kids of all ages jumped into the pit filled with 600 gallons of water and an estimated 25-hundred pounds of mashed potato flakes.

A film crew from BBC was even filming the event. For participants though, it's about the fun of getting dirty.
