Buffalo-Niagara Tomato TasteFest This Weekend

remy · September 2, 2009

Hi All,
I figure I would post here in case anyone has not ventured over to our forum or some needs a little road trip this weekend. (The much larger Chicken Wing Festival is also happening in Buffalo this weekend.)
Here's a copy of general info for everyone. You can PM me for more:

The party is Sat. Sept. 5th at 1:00 on Grand Island. It is rain or shine. Hopefully we have nice weather, but there is the cottage and covered areas in a case of inclement weather. It appears we are going to have nice weather!

Meat(Yummy Meat-on-a-Stick, Salens hot dogs, etc.) will be provided.
Bottled water, lemonade and ice tea, and coffee will be available.(all napkins, serving utensils, etc. too)
We are asking people to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to eat, but it is not required. Please let me know what you are planning to bring so other don't bring the same item. There is a full functional kitchen if you need to put something together once you get there.

Bringing your own beer or wine is fine.

If you have kids, there will be assorted toys and there is a swingset. There will definitely be children between the ages of 3-10 there to play with. If it is going to be hot out, bring a bathing suit for your kid, we will fill the kiddy pool. If your kid is older, there are trails in the wood behind the house to explore.

Bring tomato varieties to taste. Two(more in the case of small tomatoes) of each variety is good, one for display, one for tasting, but if you only have a one that is fine!! In fact if you just have one tomato variety to bring that is fine. Remember it only take one to win : )

We will have contests for Best Tasting, Sweetest, Tangiest/Acidic, Biggest., Smallest, Prettiest and Ugliest too.
Plates for display will be provided.

Looking forward to the party,
Remy
