PITTSTON, LUZERNE COUNTY- If you're looking for something to do this weekend, the ever-popular Pittston Tomato Festival is in full swing.
Eyewitness News stopped by Saturday for the tomato fight. About 100 people faced off in cooper's seafood parking lot and launched rotten tomatoes at each other.
The object is not to get hit by one of the juicy, red bombs. We even found a couple of men in tuxedos. They tossed their tomatoes with class.
Fran Ankenbrand of the Pittston Knights of Columbus said, "It's for the fun of it, it's the tomato fest, if you can't be in Italy doing it, you gotta be here.Ó
Launchers donated $5 each. All the proceeds will benefit local charities. The festival continues through Sunday evening. | |
