Great news! My contact at the Cumberland Ag Expo here in Pennsylvania got back to me and the Expo’s board liked the idea of hosting a seed-spitting contest and gave it the official green light.
The next step is to await further input from the board, which will come after their May 10 meeting. At that meeting, they’ll determine the best scheduling for the contest (which day and time during the three-day August event). Until then, I need to start putting together a rough outline of how the contest would be organized, including rules, an overview of the site logistics, how the contest would be carried out, and ideas for potential prizes.
Stay tuned!

Just came across your site while searching out watermelon pictures. I collect watermelon paraphernalia of all kinds, and have taken on the ‘blog name’ of Watermelon Wendy, so naturally I had to drop in and take a look at your site. Looks like I have lots of reading to do, just wanted to say hi, and good luck with your contest!
WOW this so reminds me of when i was a little kid…we would be sent outside all day when were little and of course with all the watermelon we wanted and well we got bored and started spitting the seeds to see who could get the furthest and the looser well had to endure us spitting watermelon seeds on them. I know now as adults ewwwwww is the word but come on when your seven years old it was fun. LOL….Good luck on this.
Thanks for the good luck wishes. Stay tuned for updates.
