Watermelon and Twenty-Five Shmacks!

When I was a little girl, I lived in Arkansas for a couple of years.  One summer, my family and I attended a watermelon festival.  People came from all over--traveling through neighboring counties and crossing state lines--to participate in the fun.  Festivities included a watermelon growing contest and a watermelon eating contest.  I saw watermelons that were HUNDREDS of pounds; I watched people eat large slices of watermelon in seconds!  It was a riot!

I have always loved watermelon!  To me, it is a symbol of sunshine and summer days.  I'm sharing a watermelon craft project on The Wood Connection's blog today!  See it here.  It would be the perfect summertime addition to your home decor.  It is bright and cheerful!
