Watermelon Eating Contest July 4th at 4:00

Nothing says 4th of July like watermelon! Get ready to get your fill in this year’s Watermelon Eating Contest at the fairgrounds.  Each contestant will be given a half a watermelon and the first one to get down to the rind will be declared the champion!  The winner will be awarded a $40 gift card, and 2nd place will receive a $20 gift card. Do you think you have what it takes to beat out the competition? Signups begin at 4pm July 4th, and the contest will begin at 4:45. There will be three divisions 6-10, 11-16, and 17 and older. This is a free event, but it is limited to the first 25 entries per category.
