Decisions. Decisions. Tonight, both the Tomato Festival (4-7:30 pm) at MU Bradford Research Center and Art-i-Fact (4-8 pm), a gallery crawl of 10 venues on the MU campus (plus Columbia Art League reception near campus) are all going on!

Tomato Festival will have over 100 varieties of tomatoes, and both sweet and hot peppers to taste. In addition, salsa and tomato dishes from 14 local restaurants are available to taste/eat. They also provide milk in case you happen to get something too spicy for you! For growers, there will also be presentations, including tomato topics of heat-related problems and pest management. We recommend getting there as early as you can, before some of the samples run out. Thu Sep 6, 4-7:30 pm. Location: MU Bradford Research Center, 4968 Rangeline Rd, Columbia MO 65201-8973.
