I was preparing to attend the 3rd annual tomato festival in Cherry Hill but
upon visiting the website http://www.njtomatofestival.org/ it's been
cancelled until 2007.

Big dissapointment!!! Cancelled because the festival coordinator had a
stroke.

Well I'm sorry for the guy but what ever happened to "the show must go
on!"??

I don't get to see "Cookie" Jarvis defend his world record pizza eating
title!

The BUMS!!!

And you missed the one here in Carmel. Of course, with the cheapest
ticket at US$110.00, perhaps you wouldn't have gone anyway:

Dan,

I'd have gone to that festival! It sounds like the biggest in the
country. That's how to do a tomato festival right! $110 is so worth it,
for local charities!

350 tomato varieties??? New Jersey's festival only had one variety.

New Jersey's festival doesn't come close to yours! Maybe in 15 years it
might approach your festival. I should forward them your link.

Thanks,

Andy

All of you stop your whining. Yuba/Sutter counties cut back on the
Prune Festival, where you used to be get enough free samples of
Nature's roto-rooter to last for a year, not to mention the best
barbequed turkey legs!

See, you missed the festival because it is now the Dried Plum Festival.
Thought you knew.

What do you mean "now"? The Dried Plum Festival has been defunct since 2003.
Once the name was changed (in a hotly-contested debate), the festival folded
after only a couple years.

Heh, I was just joking, I know nothing of a prune or dried plum festival.
I happen to think the name change was a non-starter, but then, prunes aren't
big in my life.
