In 2007 the record was not broken. In 2006 the record of french fries served was broken and 4,680 fries were served. The previous record of 4,518 pounds was set in 2005 at the French Fry Feed. It was estimated that around 10,000 people were served. About 113 gallons of ketchup were used as well.

 

United Way sponsors the Family Fun Tent, and with the help of member agencies, board members and other volunteers, they provide free activities and games for kids at University Park, AND extra help serving the fries for Simplot's French Fry Feed!
