James Cousins, Julia Cousins, and Frank W. Crippen enjoy watermelon at a beach near Casey’s Pass in 1929. 🍉

Did you know the watermelons served at our July 4 watermelon stations and eating contests were donated by Publix on Venice Island and Detwiler’s Farm Market in Venice? Thanks to amazing community partnerships like these, we’re able to host incredible events for everyone to enjoy!

🍉 Florida watermelon season is in full rind through the end of July, so there’s still time to enjoy a slice of summer! Florida seasonal crop information: https://www.fdacs.gov/consumer-resources/buy-fresh-from-florida/crops-in-season
