Watermelon Festival...second time around.



watermelons the size of a kid!





Chuck's hand! Now that's one BIG watermelon!!!!

This weekend was the " Watermelon Festival" again. We have gone to a lot of the festivals around here and there are a few that we will go back to again.  This was one of them.  Not that there is anything to do with watermelons there, except for all the watermelon you can eat, for FREE! and I guess they have a watermelon contest. There were three HUGE!...I mean HUGE!!!! watermelons there. I don't know how they even lifted them to get them there.   One of the banks did paint their windows with cute watermelons this year.  There are lots of craft booths, an old car and tractor show, but since it's down the main street in town, you can go into the stores also.  There is one antique/junk store that Chuck liked going into last year, so we went in again.  Last year we bought our andirons for the fire place, but this year I bought two antique books.  One of them was" The Tale of Buster Bumble Bee" that had a  copy right of...1819! and the other one was an old "Bobbsey Twins in the Country".  I read all the Bobbsey Twins books when I was little so I was tickled to have found this one.There wasn't any date inside the book, but I know it is older than the ones that read in the 1950's.  I just knew when I asked the man how much they were going to be, he was going to say $20 each....BUT! he said "$1" each!  I couldn't believe it.  I told Chuck it was the " find" for the day.  I just love books and was so happy to have them!  After having my last  " homemade ice cream" for the season and all the watermelon I could eat, which was three big pieces, ( one yellow meat and two red)  we headed for home.   Will we go again next summer?....maybe...after all ,since watermelon is one of my favorite foods and I can eat all I want, I think we will go again.  Plus, ya never know what we might find in that " antique/junk store".
