Watermelon Eating Contest, Anyone?

Actually, I’m not sure the humans have a chance.

The end of summer means the end of watermelon season, and Harold Ward has been busy collecting all the extra melons from a local farm stand. He’s brought about ten van loads and promises two more before the pumpkins start rolling in.

As always, click the pictures to enlarge them.

A Gator full of melons Here’s the “Before” shot.
