OROVILLE – There was a free giveaway of potatoes at Prince’s Center in Oroville on Wednesday, May 6 thanks to the Spokane Hutterian Brethren who donated the potatoes from their farm in Reardan, Washington.

Akins Harvest Foods shared part of their parking lot for the event. Volunteers bagged and handed potatoes to each driver of the vehicles as they drove up one at a time.
