The first annual Tomato Tasting will be held at the Beatrice Public Library on Tuesday, August 19 from 5 - 7:30 pm. Participants should meet in the Price Room before moving to the LIbrary's south lawn for the event. Tomato tasters will have the opportunity to select a Taster's Choice award for their favorite variety.
Gardeners interested in providing tomatoes should bring their washed produce to the Library on August 19 between 10 am and 4:30 pm. The tomatoes should be in disposable containers. The name of the specific variety should be noted if it is known. Unknown tomatoes will be included in a mystery category. All tomatoes given for the event must include the name, address and phone number of the donor. For more information about donating tomatoes, call 402-239-4781.
