Four people were hospitalized with injuries after a funnel-cake accident at the Hanover Tomato Festival yesterday. About 12:30 p.m., an employee of a food vendor apparently tripped and knocked over a vat of 350to 425-degree oil used to make the popular confection. That employee and three others were hit by spilling oil, said Lt. Corey Beazley of Hanover Fire and EMS.

The Hanover Tomato Festival is up first, kicking off its 31st year when the gates open at 9 a.m. at Pole Green Park. Two hours later, the 11th annual Shockoe Tomato Festival takes over Richmond’s 17th Street Farmers’ Market.
