Trudi (bless her) posted a list of the winners on GW. Here it is:

The biggest tomato was CHAPMAN, weighing 32.3 oz. [Supplied by Gene's - spkfero's - family, and presented by his grandson.]

Greg Flynn won 1st with Sungold and 3rd with Little Lucky.
I [Trudi] won 2nd place with Red Currant. (STUNNER!)

Greg's daughter made some adorable ribbons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

This is the list of 1-10.
1) 9.5 Sungold ~ Greg
2) 9.1 Red Currant ~ Trudi
3) 9.0 Little Lucky ~ Greg
4) 8.8 Taxi ~ Greg
5) 8.8 Black Cherry ~ Greg
6) 8.6 Bradley ~ BlueKat
7) 8.6 Earl's Faux ~ Greg
8) 8.5 Marianna's Peace x Prue ~ Greg
9) 8.4 White Currant ~ Wayne
10) 8.3 Brianna ~ BlueKat

You will notice there were just a few repeat winners from last year: Sungold (of course) and Black Cherry. We had a very different assortment of tomatoes this year. One of last year's top ten, Olena Ukrainian, wasn't even represented at the fest, and I know quite a few of us got seeds for it after tasting it. My OUs got blight and bit the dust early (and the few I harvested were VERY acidic); BlueKat says hers were a flop this year. Just goes to show what a difference the weather can make from year to year.
