In my opinion, I\u2019ve saved the best weekly National Watermelon Prize for last. It\u2019s the handmade wooden plate and napkin holder set<\/a> you see above. Why is it the best prize? That\u2019s a good question.<\/p>\n

First, it\u2019s just plain fun and cool-looking. If you\u2019re at an event that requires paper or plastic plates and paper napkins, there\u2019s a good chance that something that looks like this prize will be a big hit. There\u2019s also a good chance that watermelon is being served, and any time you can match your decorations to the menu, you know you\u2019re doing something right.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also useful. We\u2019ve all been to barbeques and picnics where the slightest gust of wind sends the stack of plates and napkins flying off the table and through the yard. That\u2019s not fun for anyone but the family dog, who might like to chase the napkins as they flutter onto the neighbor\u2019s lawn.<\/p>\n

Leave a comment below if you\u2019d like this conversation starter at your next backyard party. I\u2019ll choose one comment at random to win it!<\/p>\n
