80 feet of tomatoes!

huntoften · August 2, 2014

We had our sixth annual Tomato Tasting here in Kansas City this morning...biggest one ever! We had over 100 varieties represented and about 150 people tasting and chowing down on awesome food. Had guests from New York, Texas, and Iowa make the trip just for the experience! This picture sums it all up....80 feet of tomatoes lined up for everyone to enjoy!

If we continue to NOT have the Mid-West Fest, I am going to have to schedule a visit to KC. Looks like a great time. Only thing is all mine are still green....I am green with envy. Congratulations on a successful day.

Wow, looks delicious! Would love to hear the results, and to see more pics if you happen to have any/if you get a chance.

I had a great time at the tasting and all of my trip to KC with my husband. James and his wife couldn't be better hosts!
Here's the link to my FB photo album of the trip. I have it set to friends and friends of friends though so you might not be able to see it, not sure. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=33e75fe40d

It was our pleasure to host you guys! We're still cracking up about the "Abraham Lincoln" incident!
