The Saturday after the State Fair I went to HEB in San Antonio for a different kind of fair- the HEB Watermelon Fun Fair! Gordon Hunt with NWPB, Marcia Adler and the wonderful people of HEB organized lots of fun activities for the day, including a watermelon eating contest and coloring contest for kids.
However, the biggest crowd pleaser was the seed spitting contest in which Jaime with HEB used an AstroTurf mat with white yard lines and miniature footballs to mark the farthest seeds. The next day we all made our way to Round Rock’s HEB for more seed-spitting action and sampling of delicious watermelons. The Watermelon Fun Fair was a lot of FUN and it was great to see how excited the participants got for the contests. Special thanks to Marcia Adler and NWPB, as well as the awesome people at HEB for allowing me to be a part of it all!
