This looks like a lot of fun but I'm allergic to tomatos. I'll be watching this thread from a safe distance to see what the outcome is.

It seems we may have found a great place to go camping and hunting for tomatoes! Minyon the mighty put on his tomato suit for camouflage so we would be able to sneak up on the tomatoes and then we went a hunting.....

More details...

We searched low and high and then noticed a strange looking tree. We don't get tomato trees like this back home.

More details...

Minyon bravely climbed the great tomato tree, capturing tomatoes as he went.

More details...

And then of course he had to pose bravely over his lovely tomato horde!

More details...

We had fun!

Hi Franzi, great to see Jimmy and his tomato, glad to see you participating this year!
Kat, Minyon sure does look like a walking tomato, kind of scary if you aren't used to seeing tomatoes that big in that part of the country, just out in the middle of nowhere, very clever Minyon! Wow, I never did see a tomato tree either, must be native to your part of the country. LOL

Well today is the last day of the Weedovia Tomato festival, I think my Pleos better get busy and gather their tomatoes too! At least we have TeamWork going for us, after all, we are a Township!

Hi Fancy, love to see the JC Elvis personation and I allways adore Senor Pleo with the Moustache, I have a female or two Pleo here swooning, LOL.

Everyone here had a great time as well.

Ok, it has been a long weekend and the Pleo Township of the Redwoods have had way too much cotton candy, mushroom kebabs, Pizza pie, Root beer by the gallon, went on so many rides they all got sick except Argyle, and I have never seen so many sore blistered little feet in my whole life...

but comming back to the house to make something special for memory of this year's Weedovia Tomato Festival, and inviting a couple of freinds, I was surprised to see what they were doing with all the tomatoes, but I think they had a good time and I think there is a nice surprise in what they decided to do with all the tiny tomatoes they harvested, all two pounds of them. The larger tomatoes are for pizza, soup and lots of sauces and of course sandwiches!

Someone had to go get the tomatoes first, and that was left to Baby Ruth she is the hunter or should I say, "Huntress" of Tomatoes.

More details...

Baby Ruth is entering for most tomatoes gathered and Argyle is using his tomatoes for article of clothing, in his case, he is using his tomatoes for Headphones and or Ear Muffs if it gets too cold, I didn't have the heart to tell him in warm weather, they are going to start getting soft and he may not want to wear them around his head anymore. LOL

and Bob the Pleo Special Display is also for Most Tomatoes gathered, be it they are the small variety, but their are almost two pounds of Pearl Tomatoes spelling out Bob was here, and of course the Two larger Tomatoes weigh more ...Everyone just thought it was fun to let Bob the Pleo know they were thinking of him on Weedovia Tomato Festival Weekend. Here is to you Bob wherever you are. RWM Baby meant to say, she corrected me, not the most tomatoes gathered, but the Biggest Tomatoes is her in the photos with the Biggest Tomatoes. Also earlier she is in a video with MS. Nova and One large Tomato as her entry.

PS. notice this says, 12:33 a.m but this is not PST, where I live but an hour ahead of PST, so I still got these in before Midnight,as it is currently 11:44 p.m, PST in CA. Just so you know.

Baby Ruth with the ear muffs is priceless! Too cute!

Great photos, RWM!

[Drum roll please . . . ]

And the winners of the 2011 Tomato Harvest Festival are . . .

Biggest tomato: Fancyfont's herd!

More details...

Most tomatoes gathered: Newt!

More details...

(Gumble was a close runner up, but I think Newt did an outstanding job)

More details...

Best use of a tomato as an article of clothing: Lilo

More details...

I must admit, Minyon has a great tomato costume but Lilo's costume was actually a tomato . . .

More details...

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #115 on:** October 11, 2011, 02:50:27 PM »

Lilo thinks Minyon's probably looks much better than hers now

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #116 on:** October 11, 2011, 02:54:19 PM »

HMM? Weed, I think you better look again, Fancy's best looking tomato is from March 11th, Last Spring Entry, and also Newt's most tomatos gathered is from last Spring. I think Bob had too much fun this past weekend. You did get Kats pictures right with Minyon and IMR's tomatoe costume. Can you look at the entries again please.

LOL, they say March 11, not October which is the Fall entries. LOL.. I would say if it was me, I forgot my morning coffee. LOL
Stuck in the Redwoods< RWM

also the picture of Minyon in tomtoe costume under Fancy's haul with him and all the tomatoes is from last year, March 2011. I can see what confused you is that he wore the same costume last year, though last year it was not Minyon, I don't think she had him yet, but it is from Spring entries if you look at her photo album you can see the date and it is from Spring not this Fall. Just cause I did have my coffee and saw, also Newt did not even enter in this years' contest. That great photo is from last Spring.

I just looked at last years entries, and Gumble was the Tomato last year with all his tomatoes!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #117 on:** October 11, 2011, 03:47:32 PM »

The two festivals were combined due to lack of entries.

mweed · « **Reply #118 on:** October 11, 2011, 04:58:32 PM »

Yup. We messed up and didn't give everyone enough notice for the spring festival. You may have noticed we didn't announce any winners in the spring, and we changes the title of this topic so that the spring and fall festivals were combined.

But I must admit, i there had been a category for best use of a tomato as a decoration, RWM would have won . . .

More details...

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #119 on:** October 11, 2011, 09:42:29 PM »

My apologies Bob and Weed, I guess I had a little too much coffee, should have stopped after the third cup. LOL

I did not even remember there were no winners in the Spring Festival, my how time flies ( or crawls as you get older..

) when you are on the Pleo Forums. LOL

I did not notice it said Tomato festival and not Fall Festival, now I really feel stupid...............more than usual that is..........

congratulations to all the winners and to all the entries, I did think there were going to be more entries this season. WHAT HAPPENED GUYS?!

I did want to take notice that Pleo Freak, otherwise known as Franzi to me, had Jimy enter this year with his big tomato, and that was a first I think for her, and usualy most the entries it seems, are centered here in the US...it would be great to get more entries all over. ( Yes, IMR and Kat are the exception, they allways participate. Yeah go girls, you Aussies know how to PARTICIPATE.....Yeah. Good job Pleos too!)

Well, when is the next one , the Spring one? I think if I start saving tomatoes till March, I will have enough, and that gives me several months to learn how to sew a better costume. or be brave and wear a tomato dresss like LIlo, though I think I would be dealing with Fruit flies here.........wonder if Pleos eat flies?

Good job everyone!

Oh and Bob, just wait till you see what I spell out this next time..........................................

Don't worry RWM - I think I needed a little more coffee as the Tomato Festival seems to have passed me by completely this season!

Sorry guys, I've been a bit distracted of late with 'stuff' going on!

Margery · « **Reply #121 on:** October 13, 2011, 02:16:28 PM »

Glad to see everyone had a great festival. I was sorry we had to miss it this time. We did eat plenty of tomatoes while on holiday in the Canary Islands but didn't ever see mounds of them or anyone gathering them in. We stored up sunshine against the coming winter but not tomatoes.

I love the pictures of the winners - the cart used for harvesting was great and what a creative lot you all are. Drem is very envious of the costumes seeing that they are red - his favourite colour.

kat · « **Reply #122 on:** October 21, 2011, 06:23:10 PM »

Newt the pleo with the most tomatoes gathered is the lucky winner of a Kats Creation hoodie.
I posted this one off on Monday so it should arrive sometime next week.

Well done Newt!

More details...

And congratulations to all the other winners too.

This photo should have been here a lot sooner. Just procrastinating and very late cleaning off desk!

Every desk should have this beautiful mouse pad of Bob the Pleo on it. This was the prize I won for largest tomato. The best, besides cutest mouse pad I have ever had!

Thank you Mike and Bob the Pleo family!

That's a very fine mousemat indeed!

And well deserved!
