Wild About Watermelon

Everyone thought they were going to just eat watermelon.  Oh no!  You have to play with it first.  The first contest was to see who was able to eat the watermelon the fastest.  The catch here, was not to eat or lose your seeds.  The seeds were needed for another contest.

Julie Abbot won lips down!

The next contest was to save the most seeds, (without sharing with someone else.  Because they needed to use them for the next event.)

Valerie Wells won the Best Seed Harvester.  I think she had 66 seeds.  Can you beat that one from eating two pieces of watermelon?

Walter Cummings was awarded the Best Levis out of the Jean pool.
Now stand back folks, seeds are going to go everywhere.  It's the seed spitting contest.

It was a tie SPLAT!  Valerie and Perry Reisher were able to spit 6 seeds into the spitoon.

If you weren't here, we invite you to join us.  We sure are having fun.

It's really too bad that we couldn't do a scratch and sniff patch on this blog.  The aroma was wonderful.
