The tour has stopped at NFL games, NASCAR races, NCAA Football and Basketball games, and recently at CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee.

“It’s been a really great experience, people are excited, and they have a great time eating their potatoes, hanging out, and doing the activities,” says McFarland. “We’re excited to bring it to Idaho Falls.”
