Saline Watermelon Festival 2009
It's that time of year again. I've been 'tracking' the festivities of the week on the beloved Facebook. ;) The kids' night, the treasure hunt, the pageants, etc. Been lots of fun already, looks like...and today will be awesome (hot, but so fun). ;) We haven't been able to be there since 2006 (I was preggers with Eissa at the time). Y'all have a great time for me there, ya hear (and eat a chicken on a stick too)? And guess what...WE'LL SEE YOU THERE NEXT YEAR!! Woohoo!!
Can you believe these awesome pictures?!? Love them. I stole them off Facebook...thanks Donnie C. and James David. ;) This is from the festival in 1931.
1933 Queen's Float
These girls were gorgeous. I don't recognize any of the names though...who are they...does anyone know? 1933 Queen and court...L to R: Virginia Taylor, Camille Hailey, Doris McCain (queen), Mary Evelyn Frey, Eleanor Stinson
1933. Love these pics. I can just feel the air of Saline right now. ;)

Love those pics! Has the festival changed much since 1993? That's the last time I was there. I remember my dad doing the watermelon toss competition when we first moved to Saline and split his pants open! So funny. I"m sure he would love that I just shared that story. :)
That is cool! Is the festival in the same place as those old pics?
Great pics. The ladies always had perfectly in place hair back then. What happened to us? : )
