In the middle of the Great American West, embraced by the Rocky Mountains and sprinkled with magical hot springs, lies a state filled with mind-boggling beauty and adventure - Idaho. But, what makes Idaho truly special isn't just the towering mountain peaks, the roaring rivers, or even its world-famous potatoes. It's the unusually talented kids who dabble in the extraordinary and gravity-defying world of Aerial Arts. Imagine, if you will, a world where children do not merely walk, but float, swing, climb, and twirl through the air as effortlessly as a feather caught in a gentle breeze. The "Future Flyers" they're known as, these Idaho kids have a knack for hanging upside down from silk ribbons, soaring through the sky on hoops, and doing things on a trapeze that would make a monkey green with envy. Our story revolves around 'Potato Pete', a spud with a dream - a potato who wanted to fly. Despite his chubbiness and the fact that potatoes are generally not known for their aerial acrobatics, Pete was undeterred. With a heart full of starch and eyes set on the sky, he joined the Future Flyers, and began his journey to become Idaho's first flying potato. Pete, with his tuberous charm and witty sense of humor, soon became the heart and soul of the Aerial Arts community. Always the first to swing, the last to land, and the most likely to get tangled up in a hoop, Pete's airborne antics would have everyone in stitches.

Even if you're a potato.
