ERMA — Bill Hayes of Town Bank Road won 10th place in the Sixth Annual Championship Tomato Weigh-In at the Monmouth Mall Saturday. His 3.05-pound beauty was the largest in the county when put on the scale at Robinson and Son, Villas. According to Dave Robinson, Hayes’ tomato was the largest county entry he could recall during his tenture as weighmaster. Nevertheless, 70 other finalists from 85 other weighing stations across the state carried their picks of the crop to the judging stand. Nine of the finalists had heftier tomatoes than Hayes, according to Joseph Heimbold, originator of the competition. The first prize ($1,000) winner was George Bucsho of Clifton with a 3.53-pound entry. Last year's record tomato weighed 3.2905-pounds and the alltime record-holder, William Krausse of New Brunswick, saw his 4.034-pound entry win in 1980. His record stands. "This is more than we ever had before," Heimbold said of the finalists. "Last year we had 67."

CAPE MAY - The focus of activity for the Seafood Festival will be on Convention Hall Saturday, Sept. 10. There will ibe special demonstrations and contests in addition to the continuing displays and exhibits. The Marine Extension Service and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, with, the assistance of th6 commercial dock and boat owners, will offer exciting seafood samples to introduce deep sea delicacies. Throughout the weekend many of the city’s fine restaurants will be offering special “Cape May Catch” dinners, showing off their chefs' talents and the seafood products from the nearby docks. Cape May, though a small, quaint town, has an unusually large number of good restaurants, among the best on the East Coast. On Sept. 11, there will be an ecumenical sunrise service to honor those fishermen who have been lost at sea, and a dedication of the historic Cape May Point'lighthouse as a memorial. The service will include a procession of 24 fishermen’s children, the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Band, and the choirs and ministers from several denominations of churches in Cape May. IN THE AFTERNOON on Sunday, the area restaurants will host a special restaurant festival, and visitors will be able to partake of gourmet seafood treats from some of the best restaurants in New Jersey. The Seafood Festival is being planned and is sponsored by the Greater Cape Ma^ Chamber of Commerce. Robert Mullock, president, said that he feels this will be one of the city’s major events, as a cooperative effort between the dining, lodging and retail businesses of Cape May and the commercial and sport fishing enterprises of the city. "Not enough people are aware of the size and importance of Cape May's fishing industry." says Mullock, "and we hope this

Seafood Festival will make Cape May known as a seafood capital as well as a Victorian National Historic Landmark." The New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism has already assisted the Festival with a $5,000 matching grant to promote the event. THE CHAMBER plans to make the Seafood Festival a major annual event, needing substantial resources, assistance, and of course volunteers. Already the Marine Extension Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the city have joined with the chamber and are, along with the dock and boat owners and fishermen, giving full support to the plans for the Festival. A group of fishermen's wives is also being formed to help. However, individual and business support is still needed. Anyone interested in helping or finding out more about the Seafood Festival should contact the Greater Cape May Chamber of Commerce at 884-5508 or the Cape May Department of Civic Affairs, 884-8411 extension 20. ,
