DOUBLE SPRINGS - A beloved summertime tradition is returning as the Winston County Extension Office prepares to host the 5th Annual Tomato Sandwich Day on Friday, July 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mike Gilbreath Memorial Park.
This free, family-friendly event celebrates one of the South’s simplest and most cherished seasonal favorites—the classic tomato sandwich—while bringing the community together for a day of food, learning, and connection.
Guests can enjoy free tomato sandwiches made with fresh, locally grown tomatoes generously donated by Brandon Lewis and Pleasant Ridge Farms. The event highlights the importance of supporting local agriculture and showcases the quality of produce grown right here in Winston County.
In addition to enjoying a fresh sandwich, attendees will have the opportunity to meet local Extension agents and learn more about educational programs offered through the Alabama Extension. These programs focus on improving quality of life through resources in nutrition, agriculture, family well-being, and youth development.
The event is designed with all ages in mind and will feature activities for everyone, including fun opportunities for children, making it a great outing for families.
“Tomato Sandwich Day has become a meaningful way for us to connect with the community while sharing what Extension has to offer,” said Zack Brannon, Winston County Extension Director. “It’s a simple event, but it brings people together and highlights the value of local agriculture and community partnerships.”
Designed with all ages in mind, the event offers a welcoming environment where families, friends, and neighbors can gather, relax, and enjoy a summer classic together.
