MANHATTAN — The 37th annual Manhattan Potato Festival took on extra-special meaning this year as hundreds of people lined Main Street, decked out in pink and the number 10 in honor of 17-year-old Delaney Doherty who was killed in a head-on crash on Aug. 3, 2023.
The parade became a sea of pink as dozens of floats joined in on Saturday, along with marching students and classmates of Delaney to honor the beloved student-athlete.
Delaney would have been starting her senior year at Manhattan High School this fall.
