Peace, Love & Potatoes!
October 5 & 6 2024
It all starts here! The Annual Potato Festival is ACTS biggest fundraiser for the year. The proceeds raised from the festival support our Spring Valley Community Library, the Fire Dpt Auxullary, the ACTS Scholarship, preservation of the George Barrett Concrete House, maintainance of Bledsoe Park as well as the gardens that line the Little Miami Bike path through Spring Valley.
Many hands make light work! And it literally takes a village…yes, the WHOLE village…to make this incredible festival happen each year!
