Join Main Street Manning on Saturday August 16 as we celebrate that delicious summer fruit, watermelon! There will be seed spitting contests, watermelon "toss" contests, a carving and decorating contest, and watermelons to taste. The watermelon carving and decorating contests are open to anyone, but all decorating or carving is to take place prior to the event. Only finished works will be accepted. Registration begins at 9:45 am and the competitions will begin at 10 am. The competition will be broken down by ages, and adults are encouraged to participate! Bring a chair to watch the Melon Mania competitions! The event will be held at Manning City Park, on the corner of Church and Rigby Street across from Manning United Methodist Church. Please contact Carrie Trebil at City Hall 435-8477 for more information.
