Hidden high in the rugged mountains of Idaho, a land famous for its roaring rivers, stunning wildlife, and of course, those delicious potatoes, there exists a vibrant and lively community of kids. Now, what makes these Idaho kids extraordinary is not their superhuman ability to consume staggering amounts of potatoes, but their superb talent in painting. Meet Artie, the most colorful raccoon you'll ever get to know. Artie, often mistaken for a rainbow that fell from the sky, is the busy, bustling, and bubbly guide for these creative kids. Artie might look like a regular raccoon at first glance, but beware, for he carries a magical paintbrush with a splat of rainbow paint on its tip. With a mischievous twinkle in his eyes and a paintbrush flick that could put the most experienced artists to shame, Artie leads the Idaho kids on riotously fun painting adventures. These little Picassos, armed with their paintbrushes, are the undisputed champions of the 'Great Idaho Paint-Off.' With a giddy laugh here and a wild color splash there, they transform dull, boring canvases into whirlwinds of emotion and creativity. Every Friday, under the watchful eye and hilarious commentary of Artie, they compete in the 'Potato Painting Extravaganza', where they transform ordinary Idaho potatoes into vibrant works of art. From potato portraits of famous Idahoans to colorful potato landscapes, these kids' imagination knows no bounds. So, if you ever find yourself in the spectacular state of Idaho, don't be surprised if you spot a rainbow raccoon named Artie and a band of giggling, painting kids, leaving a trail of color and laughter everywhere they go. After all, it's just another regular day in Idaho!
