Despite Blight, Tomato Contest Carries On

The ongoing blight has made 2009 a rough year for tomatoes, but Massachusetts farmers are soldiering through. The cream of the crop will be presented at today’s tomato contest at City Hall Plaza. Entries will be judged on flavor, firmness, exterior color, and shape. The awards will be announced at 12:30.
