[FONT=Arial]Everyone is welcome to join us. This is a family affair, so bring the kids, the parents, the grandparents and anyone else that likes tomatoes. ;) [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]While it is our intention for everyone to share their tomato harvest, it’s OK if you don’t have any tomatoes to bring :( . You are still welcome. :D Most folks bring some type of food other than tomatoes to share also, but that is not a requirement either.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Our only real requirement is you have of love of tomatoes and want to share some fun with other tomato lovers. So mark your calendars and plan to join us for a great afternoon. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Check out the CHOPTAG web site for some pictures of past events. [/FONT]

Marked in ink on calendar!
Cutting back a little on # of plants this year..Hoping less plant+better care +good harvest :)...I may make the plant swap this year! There is talk of postponing the spring trip 1 week so I can be there...

Cheers,
Ray

Ray, looking forward to seeing you May 6th. Save room for a few good surprises! lol
Gary

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for posting this info. so far in advance. Gary invited me last year, but I could not attend. I plan on coming this year. The advance notice is great for me because I work weekends and must request off summer weekends far in advance. Anyway, I will be coming from Buffalo, NY and will need to get a room somewhere close to the park. If you (or someone else reading this) could let me know of a few that would be great.
Thanks,
Remy

Remy, I think it is great that you are planning to join us in August for our Taste Fest! I'm really looking forward to meeting the both of you! Gathering with the CHOPTAG folks always exceeds my expectations! They are a fine group of folks interested in growing good tomatoes.
I hope you are seeing some signs of spring there. Best wishes for a great garden this season!
Gary

Remy, I'm so glad you are coming!! I can't wait to meet you. We will have a great time.

Thanks you two! I'm really looking forward to attending : )
Remy

Should I even say me and mine will be there. :-) Looking forward to seeing y'all.

Marked the calendar! I plan to be there with the whole gang! CAN'T WAIT... but right now, it'd be nice if the sun would come out and dry up all the snow! :-) I'm itching to sow some greens!

Lisa

I plan on being there as well :)

You're coming for a visit?! Fabulous! Can't wait to meet you, H!

Lisa

Bizzare, you plan on coming all the way from MT.?:shock: Not that you're not wanted, just it's quite a trip......
P.S. I can't believe no one has commented on my little avatar of the smoking baby. I couldn't help myself. It was too funny when I saw it.

tomatoaddict, I was just about to ask you... :) Just told a friend today about the smokin' baby avatar... I thought it was darn cute!!!

Lisa

ooooh me too!

there is a small tomato gathering in Nashville, but my dad lives in Cincy and I can always use an excuse to go visit!

Ditto Remy about the needing advance notice- I dont work weekends but im one of a very few folks in the region, thus, much planning needed.

I might actually have tomatoes to bring!

What should I bring besides tomato plants? Foodwise?
