The photos from the South East Texas Tomato Festival 2008 event are now online!

We would like to thank our photographer Tim Hansford (e-mail) who went above and beyond and photographed every single plate of tomatoes from everyone who brought them. All told, 174 unique tomato varieties were present at the 2008 SETTFest event.

A special thanks to Michael (known here as Deer Park) for allowing me to pick tomatoes from his tomato farm and present them at SETTFest. We're hoping that he'll be able to present his tomato varieties in person at next year's event!

I just want to reiterate that there is no requirement to bring tomatoes to our tasting. I didn't bring any because mine were pretty much tuckered out. The lists above are just for reference, not a competition!

Thanks for posting these photos! It looks like it was a great time - and what an amazing display of tomatoes!

Suze · July 6, 2008

Again, a big thanks to everyone who attended. Also, thanks for the assistance setting up and cleaning up afterwards.

I think (hope?) Morgan and I did a fairly good job of properly attributing the varieties to the growers who brought them. If we mixed up anything, or left off any varieties that were at the event, please PM one of us or post to this thread so we can correct the list and/or the album.

I know some took home tomatoes "to go", and thanks so much for that. I sure didn't want to haul any leftovers back home or throw them in the trash.

If you have any questions about what a var you took home is, and can tell me what abbreviation was written on the top and what color the fruit was, I should be able to tell you what it is, especially if it was one of mine.
