June 14-15
Lower Delta | Warren
Now in its 68th year, this fest commemorates Arkansas’s official state fruit (and vegetable, since tomatoes are often considered the latter): the pink tomato. While events change from year to year, you can count on something for everyone, including arts and crafts vendors, live music, a parade, the Little Miss Pink Tomato pageant, and a tomato-eating contest. Find more information here.
Also, you can find this delicious tomato pie recipe using Arkansas-grown tomatoes, as seen in the June issue of At Home in Arkansas, here.
How do you prefer to eat your favorite Arkansas tomatoes? Sliced with salt and pepper, on a classic BLT, or in a delicious tomato pie? Do you grow a summer garden? Let us know!
