The <strong>Idaho Potato Drop Festival<\/strong> is an end-of-the-year family friendly event that rings in the new year with a day of live music, inner-tube rides down ice ramps, wrestling matches, local food and drinks, a huge family tent warmed up with entertainment for the kids, and for the grand-finale, a potato the size of a bus is lowered by crane into the cheers of the crowd, and into our hopes and prayers for the new year.<\/p>\n<p>The Boise Beat wishes everyone a happy, healthy and fun 2018!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em>Photo Gallery follows, all
