Watermelon Festival

I'm back at the Watermelon Festival in Hope for the third time today. I ran the 5K this morning, then came back for the watermelon eating contest, political division (Hope Vice Mayor David "DJ" Johnson took the title home again), then came back after a brief luncheon at UACCH courtesy of Chancellor Chris Thomason.

Here are a few pictures, beginning with me with my game face on midway through the contest (right). I'm off to Arkadelphia for the Clark County Clinton Day Dinner at Henderson State this evening. Speaker Robbie Wills will be the keynote speaker there tonight.
