More Melonfest

If you want to check out the goings on at this weeks watermelon festival, go to http://www.hopechamberofcommerce.com and click on the schedule link and you'll be ready to go. As I mentioned in a previous post, Governor Beebe will be here Saturday, along with Lt. Governor Halter and Attorney General McDaniel. We will all be heading for a high noon showdown in the "politically correct watermelon eating contest". Nothing fancy here, you just have a bunch of politicos chomping a slice of watermelon as fast as they can and letting the seeds and juices go where they may. My advice to the Constitutional Officers though--harbor no illusions of winning; Hope Vice-Mayor, David Johnson, is the 3 time defending champion, and stakes his claim as the Tiger Woods of watermelon eating. Here's some further advice for those watching--stay off the front row. Old Gallagher fans would have a field day here.
