Last Saturday, people came to the Pyramid Alehouse dressed up and ready to engage in the biggest food fight of their lives. This wasn’t your ordinary food fight. Instead of throwing spaghetti, meatballs and cake, the only ingredient used was tomatoes. The Tomato Battle tours the country, utilizing the county’s abundance of overripe tomatoes. Instead of chucking them in the garbage, they facilitate the chucking of them at peoples’ faces!Photos by Catherine Anstett.Published on September 26, 2011
These guys are having the time of their lives.
Costume judges included Danielle Campoamor, Gugce Ergul and Max Kraner.

Jody, Chris and Jessica are looking pretty intact after the battle. It must’ve been their uniforms.

Love the shower caps on Shelby Francisco, Serge Qureshi and River Gates.
Most of the tomatoes were ripe and red, but those green tomatoes hurt when they hit!
