Mea, MAGTAG stands for Mid-Atlantic Tomato Gardeners Appreciation Gathering. This will be the second annual one, held on Saturday, August 25 at Southwest Area Park in Baltimore Highlands, MD (same location as last year). The festival includes a tomato tasting contest (In 2006 there were 82 different varieties), beer, wine, and soft drinks, grilled food (there are 4 grills at the pavilion), and a BLT bar. Anyone can attend and either bring homegrown tomatoes or a tomato-related dish (tomatoes used in the food do not have to be homegrown). We had about 35 attendees for the first MAGTAG, from NY, NJ, VA, and WV, as well as MD.

Chuck Hubbuch will be the keynote speaker on Saturday. The possibility of other speakers is still in the works.

Thank You zep516! I uninstalled Foxit Reader and reinstalled it according to your directions, and that worked, but do you or does anyone out there know how to make Word 2007 my default instead of Works? Thank you again zep516! When I did the PDF test it said I already had Acrobat 9--Thank you! If I only understood what is going on!--sigh...

Beautiful house. Sad to hear it burned down.
