There was plenty to do at the Watermelon Carnival,
funny that most of them involved eating.
Everyone loves funnel cakes!
Live music played all day. There were class reunions, arts and crafts, and about 100 vendors selling their wares.
They even had the Melon Shuttle circling back and forth through town.
It was unbearably hot, but finally they served everyone ice cold watermelon. Looks like another successful carnival has come and gone, hope you come next year!

That watermelon looks like good eatin Rex!
Perhaps as a watermelon connisseur, you could answer a question for me. My son has a few watermelons growing in our back yard. We've never grown them before. How do you know when they're ripe?
thump them for the nice hollow sound, also the stem will die.
Mmmm... love watermelon. Nothing better than a slice of ice cold watermelon on a hot sunny day... wish I was there!

Man, I must be hungry. Those funnel cakes look GOOD!
Start practicing your seed spitting now, Rex... I have an idea for an event at the Outdoor Bloggers' Summit!
What? No watermelon wine? What fun is that?
Was there a watermelon eating contest? In the past , several times, I was recruited, as a "ringer", to participate in several contests. My record is 6 and 0.
Maybe an idea for a new post?
Jon, I agree you are a ringer.
