Any foodie who imagines fries without ketchup or a BLT without the T is sure to realize the tomato’s impact on the American diet.
From July 6th to 7th, the Lauderdale County Tomato Festival will give the fruit much-deserved credit, with activities set for downtown Ripley.
The festival, which honors local tomato growers, will include a tomato tasting, a tomato contest to determine Tomato Festival Royalty, a talent showcase, a baby crawling contest, a 5K walk/run, a petting zoo, a magician performance, and more.
