1927 - Runner Up to Winning Watermelon

1927 - Even though this was the 2nd place watermelon in 1927, it was exceptionally proportioned and the festival committee made a photo of the melon being polished by a young man and the photo became a popular postcard. The watermelon was grown in the Rocky Mound community by Henry Dudley.
