It’s only Monday
June 16, 2008
Well, I did a whole lot of nothing this weekend. The highlight was probably my strawberry margarita at Chili’s.
It’s only Monday and I am already looking forward to this weekend!
The Slocomb Tomato Festival is this weekend and I cannot wait. I am madly in love with tomatoes, especially the Slocomb variety. This whole Samonella thing has got me blue, because I can’t get tomatoes at restaurants. I’ll be sure to stock up this weekend.
Slocomb Tomato Festival
When: Saturday, June 21
Where:Slocomb
Info: A parade will start Saturday at 10 a.m. in the downtown area. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 11 a.m., and entertainment begins at noon. There will be arts and crafts vendors all day, and a kid’s carnival will be from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for ages 3-12. Ages 2 and under are free.
Another piece of produce will have a celebration this weekend ... Headland is hosting the first-ever blueberry festival. Hopefully, I can swing by Headland as well.

Where: On the square.
Info: They will have blueberries for sale. There’s also a blueberry queen pageant.
If you need something to do before the weekend, check out Art After Hours at the Wiregrass Museum of Art. I’ve heard from some people that it’s a good time, but working night shift tends to cramp my evening schedule. Check it out and let me know what you think. Maybe I can sneak over there on my dinner break.
