The day after my birthday I hopped on a plane and made my way to Cal-I-forn-I-A! I met Mrs. Wanda in Anaheim on October 2nd through the 4th for the Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summit Convention. Along with the beautiful, humidity-free weather, I was especially excited to see all the queens and coordinators once again.

See, Longhorns & aggies can work together...most of the time.
Richard de Los Santos was a neighbor to the Texas Watermelon Association booth at the convention, as well as some familiar faces from Rio Queen Citrus that I met while lobbying in D.C. Ward Thomas had plans to broadcast the college football games that day at our booth but unfortunately the TV’s wouldn’t work. However, we didn’t need the TV’s to attract people because we made really neat luggage tags that said “I love Texas Watermelons,” for everyone that stopped by.

Although I wished I could have stayed longer in California I had such a great time with everyone at the convention and I’d like to thank the Texas Watermelon Association and NWPB for making it a wonderful experience.
