Reynoldsburg Tomato fest and Buckeye state tomato

**tomatoaddict** · April 12, 2007

I was just wondering if anyone has ever attended the Reynoldsburg tomato festival. Frank and I are thinking of going this year and would love to hear reviews of anyone that has attended.
Also, in my constant researching of tomatoes, I have read that the Livingstone's Buckeye State tomato is considered extinct. Yet the other day, I ordered this seed called "buckeye state" from Harvest moon. Here is their description:
Buckeye State Tomato
[TM75]$2.29

Introduced in 1893 by Livingston Seed. The extra large fruits are borne in clusters of three to six. Buckeye State has a smooth skin and is very meaty, solid, and without such a rough skin as most heirloom beefsteak types. We are happy to obtain this selection from a Ohio source who has kept it in their family for 3 generations. Fruits Average 3/4 of a lb.

Would this be the original BS or is this a bogus claim?
