Forty years back (or maybe even longer) there was nothing called Høstferie (Autumn holiday) for school children. It was a busy week when not only the farmers children were busy picking potatoes, but neighbours children, friends and relatives would help out too. At that time, it was called Potetferie (potato holiday), because that was what it was really all about.
Some children must have had fun decorating this potato, seen in a small shop.
