That's right! It's time once again for the Sunland-Tujunga Watermelon Festival!

Some of you may remember what happened at last year's festival.

They say they're having a category in the watermelon eating contest for ages 1 to 6 this year, unlike last year when I had to enter Ems with the 5 to 9 year olds, which is good-- Emma's in training this week. I give her a big slice of watermelon and cheer her on while she eats it. [Big Grin]

Anyone who is in the L.A. area and would like to meet us this Saturday, we'll be at the watermelon eating contest at 2 p.m. There's a bluegrass band on at 1, so we'll probably try to get there a little before that. [Smile]

Whether we see any of you or not, it's sure to be a blast. I'm excited!

Oh ketchupqueen, that's my first memory of you and Emma after I joined Hatrack!

Gee, I wonder how much influence Emma had in creating the younger category... [Smile]

She's a shoe-in, ya know.

Yay!!! When I saw the topic I knew what it was about. Go, Emma! Go! Can't wait for new pictures. Watermelon is nummy.

That has got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen... the chompin' and that outfit are too much! Thanks for sharing, ketchupqueen [Smile]

How did this go?

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

She got distracted by all the yelling and didn't go as fast as she could have. She was still awfully cute, though, and did insist on finishing the whole piece! I entered with the adults, with the goal of beating my brother, also in the running. And I did. [Big Grin]

I made it into the first run-off, then placed fourth (not good enough for the finals, but respectable.)
