Results of 7th Annual Salsa Contest at Texarkana Farmer’s Market

It was a great turnout for the 7th Annual Best Salsa in the Ark-La-Tex Contest at the Texarkana Farmer’s Market in downtown Texarkana. We have the final results and see that some contestants appear among winners in a few categories.

Billed by many on social media as a way to settle a recent debate that had been dubbed “Salsagate 2016”, the contest took place at the Texarkana Farmer’s Market at 305 Texas Boulevard in downtown on Saturday morning. Contestants entered 4 quarts of their homemade salsa in the categories they chose to enter from Mild, Medium, Hot, Smokin’, Specialty, or Restaurant.
