Happy birthday to Leamington’s big tomato! The Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce held a birthday party to celebrate the 50th year of the big tomato tourist booth. The booth serves as a destination for wayward travellers and locals alike. Special guests included Bill Sherk whose father Frank Sherk was at the opening in 1961. Pictured above cutting the Heinz tomato ketchup birthday cake, are from left, Miss Tomato Festival 2010 Marylyn Liovas, Bill Sherk and representing H.J. Heinz, Leona Neill. It was the engineers at Heinz who designed the iconic tourist booth that has certainly stood the test of time. Pictured at right is Leamington Chamber General manager Sally McDonald and Leamington Deputy Mayor Charlie Wright. The big tomato has become a landmark on Leamington’s main street over the years and has served an estimated 250,000 visiters. (SUN Photos)
