THE BIG TOMATO

To let Oregonians know just how BIG the 2009 Oregon State Fair is, The Big Tomato (a 13 1/2 foot-tall tomato) is touring communities across the state. Just like the Fair, the tomato is too big to miss! It will be popping up around Portland, the Gorge, Dallas, Salem and many more locations in Oregon. Go to the Tomato on one of its many stops to receive Fair coupons!
