Nothing tops a spud – except some cheese and salsa

Over 300 persons attended the Stuff Your Spud event on Oct. 26 at Leisure Shores senior center in Crestline, where the seven-inch-long and six-inch diameter potatoes had a vast selection of stuffings from peas, butter and salsa to chili, cheese sauce, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon and so much more. The spuds were followed by ice cream sundaes, with a wide choice of toppings, including chocolate, caramel and strawberry, as well as sprinkles, whipped cream and a cherry on top, which forced many to take home half their meal.
