LAVGC Annual Tomato Tasting - our 22nd year!
Saturday, August 24, 2019, 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Barn behind Crosswinds Church in Livermore
All are welcome! We hope everyone is having a fun and productive summer so far. There seems to be plenty of tomatoes on the vine in my garden, but they are slow to ripen this year! Good news is the timing will be perfect for our annual Tomato Tasting get together in just a short time.
Please note that the day of the event this year is Saturday, NOT Sunday, like in the past. The date is August 24th from 2-5 pm at The Barn behind Crosswinds Church in Livermore. Tomato Tasting Flyer and Map.
Please come and join us for this fun event which kicks off a new year of Garden Club activities! And if you are so inclined, bring tomatoes to taste or a dish to share and enter into the competitions. We have five categories that you can enter:
(1) Slicers, (2) Paste, and (3) Cherry tomatoes. In the food category there are (4) Savory and (5) Sweet dishes. Tomatoes can be with home grown, store bought, or borrowed from your neighbor. If you just want to come and taste, that is fine too. Prizes will be awarded for each category.
If you are bringing tomatoes, please arrive with your fruit already cut and plated. We'll provide toothpicks and paper goods for the tastings, water, and iced tea.
For further information or questions,email Kim Billingsley or Michelle Tallon. See the LAVGC Yearbook for their additional contact information.
