The Fireside Tomato Fest is actually a fund raiser where Patty & I brought our love of gardening and animals together. It was sort of modeled after Carmel CA anual tomato fest but a much less grander event. Still in all we were over whelmed with the responce last year.

We had tomato tasting with different classes that included both heirlooms & hybrids, a salsa contest and best tomato recipe. We will also be adding Mark's suggestion of a sample table just for sharing.

We had several sponsors who also set up booths i.e. Lockwoods Green houses, another local green house and Animal Outfitters.

My daughter set up a table and sold lots of heirloom tomatos from my garden. I had a thought for this year.......what do you think of the Buffalo-Niagara group doing the table instead of my daughter. We could donate extra tomatos from our gardens and use any profits for Remy's party. Certainly those wonderful Sate' her husband made on the grill and those great prizes weren't with out cost.

Let me know your thoughts! Marcia
