On July 16, 2016, the nation’s first Potato Chip Festival was held in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the birthplace of potato chips. The event not only created history for the potato chip, but also for Ballreich’s Potato Chips and Snacks, which won a number of awards, including:
- Gold Medal for Best Plain Potato Chip for our Regular Marcelled Potato Chip as the judges’ #1 choice for this category.
- Gold Medal for Best Potato Stick for its Smokey Sweet Mesquite Potato Stick
- Champion Best Potato Stick for its Smokey Sweet Mesquite Potato Stick
Competitors included Lay’s, Utz, Wise, Jones', Bickel's, Mister Bee, Better Made, Herr’s and more. Additionally, the festival was held in a region of New York outside Ballreich's normal distribution area, so many judges and attendees enjoyed our potato chips and sticks for the first time, the company said.
