Hello, everybody - sorry I haven't been on the boards much lately, but after a very taxing few weeks at work, I managed get sick for a couple of days. I'm OK now, and getting very excited, as it looks like I should have lots of 'maters in two weeks!

Today, I went through all the leftover supplies from last year's festival, and this is what we have:

@20 white foam plates for tomato tasting - definitely need more

Plenty of Napkins - don't need more

@25 paper/plastic dinner-size plates - need more

@30 smaller (9-in) plates - need more?

@48 7-in (dessert) plates - should be OK

@90 small (7oz) plastic cups - good for kids or wine - don'tneed more

@40 16-oz cups (foam and plastic) - will need more

@30 white foam 12-oz bowls - don't know whether these came from MAGTAG or some other party - do we need them?

@60 name tags - should be OK

I found a bag of plastic utensils, but we will definitely need more of these.

We also need heavy-duty foil, 10 large paper or plastic tablecloths, pens and Sharpies.

As before, I will provide a food scale for weighing the largest tomato, the "tip box" and directional signs/posters.

As far as food items (besides tomatoes for the testing, of course), I will once again run the "BLT Bar." Can you think of anything more that I could provide for the BLT station this year (i.e., tofu "facon" for vegans, different condiments)? My DH Dave has agreed to serve as grillmeister, but we have 4 grills, so other "meisters" are welcome (Greg F? Greg M?)
