Tomato Wars In
Sarchí
Sarchí was at war this weekend, in the first
of two weekend encounters, in the
traditional "tometazo" that is held every
year, in a war where there are no losers nor
any winners.
This year, some 700 people gathered at the
Eliécer Pérez Conejo de Sarchí Norte stadium
to through at each other some 4.000 kilos of
tomatoes.
Emilio Arce, president and organizer of the
Feria Nacional del Tomate that kicked off on
Friday said the event was a total success.
The annual event also includes a lot of
traditional activities and foods, ending in
the tometazo.
Arce assures that all the tomatoes used in
the event are not fit for human consumption.
The second tomato war will on Sunday.
