Red River Red Makes a Comeback to Help Us Celebrate Our 75th Anniversary!
Just four years after the Red River Valley Potato Growers Association was conceived in 1946, “Red River Red” was created to be a mascot and a marketing tool for Red River Valley Potatoes. His reign was from 1950 to the early 1970’s. Being the icon that he is, we thought it was fitting to bring back “Red” to help celebrate our association’s 75th year!
