Hicks Nurseries Summer Harvest Competition 2016 - Celebrate Your Vegetable Victories at Hicks Nurseries in Westbury, Nassau County, Long Island, New York.
It's not only important to eat your vegetables, it's also important to show them off! Join us for the 2nd Annual Summer Harvest Competition on Saturday, August 13, 2016 at the nursery in Westbury, NY. Enter your homegrown tomatoes, eggplant, squash, peppers and other vegetables for a chance to win bragging rights and a gift card from Hicks Nurseries. The categories are:
Most Uncommon Tomato or Other Vegetable
Show us an heirloom or other variety we wouldn't necessarily find at the supermarket.
Heaviest Zucchini and Heaviest Tomato
Bring us the big guys to be weighed.
Best Decorated Vegetable
We encourage you to use your imagination to its fullest! You can decorate one vegetable or a grouping of vegetables.
Funniest Looking Vegetable
Does your pepper really look like a tomato? Do you see the face of Elvis in your eggplant? Give us a good chuckle and you could win!
Beginner Gardener Category
Children are encouraged to bring in their favorite vegetable that they grew at home. All children will be awarded a certificate of participation.
Beautiful Bouquets
Create a bouquet of your favorite flowers and greenery from your very own garden. Please display in your own vase.
Contestants may enter one item per category only. Each contestant may enter up to three categories. Attendees to the event will vote to determine the winner of the Most Uncommon Tomato. A panel of judges will determine the winners of all other categories.
Entries will be accepted beginning at 9:30am on the day of the contest only and judging will begin promptly at 11:00AM. Each contestant can win in only one category. Vegetables must be ripe with no signs of rot and not be frozen or previously frozen.
