The Great Tomato War is back! What was a popular event at Twin Lakes in the 1980’s is being revived in Buena Vista by the Buena Vista Rotary Club.
The renewed Great Colorado versus Texas Tomato War will be held at The Meadows on September 18th. Individuals and teams will toss thousands of pounds of well-ripened tomatoes at each other all to benefit the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is an early reading program for children from birth through their fifth birthday, and is supported locally by the Buena Vista Rotary Club.
Registration for participation in the Great Tomato War is available by searching Tomato War 2021 at EventBrite.com. The cost is $45 and includes 10 pounds of tomatoes and a commemorative T-shirt.
