Use pennies, ten dollars worth is a lot and you get your money back at the end of the day.

Are you just doing 'red' tomatoes? I am courious what the contenders are and of course which wins.

When I read the header, it reminded of a 'tomato tasting' that one of our customers had with our tomatoes. I told her to do it the same as a wine tasting, start with the lights and move to the darks - Hillbilly first, Mountain Gold, Brandywine, Mule Team, then Cherokee I think.

We have a new, small market - 6 vendors. We want to have a tomato contest as
a promotional event - have folks vote for the best tasting tomato. We will
probably do this as a joint venture - one table with all the varieties, not
at individual booths. Any advice on doing such an event?

I am assuming we need some volunteers to staff the table, and probably have
flip charts and colored dots for people to vote? Marbles (or tomatoes)placed
in jars or some such would be more fun, but we'd have to buy the marbles,
and I want to do this on the cheap. I have heard of having people vote by
placing dollar bills in jars, but for one, I don't think our customers would
jump at that, and second, the host location doesn't like that idea.
