• Prettiest sliced tomato
The Salsa Competition will be judged by the Fiesta attendees, with prizes donated from local businesses. The Fiesta Tomato Contest will be judged by a panel of local expert growers, with prizes from the Soil King Garden Center, for:
• Best Green
• Best Red

• Hottest
There will be Vendors Area featuring local food and garden themes and also Soil King Garden Centers favorite suppliers offering all kinds of soil and garden products and samples.
This is a not-for-profit event. The TomatoFiesta is free, but we will be asking for a donation that will go to a Cloverdale non-profit.
The TomatoFiesta planners are developing the event schedule. Patrick King of the the Soil King Garden Center will be available by telephone, during working hours at 707 894-3500, for questions about the event.
