Get a free watermelon slice in Annapolis Aug. 7

In an effort to promote local watermelons, the state Department of Agriculture and the Mar-Del Watermelon Association are hosting a MAR-DELicious Watermelon event from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Aug. 7 at Annapolis City Dock.

There will be free slices!

There will also be watermelon royalty: Maggie Bailey, National Watermelon Queen; Jessica Haden, Mar-Del Watermelon Queen; and Jessica Suddarth, Florida Watermelon Queen. Other dignitaries will include Buddy Hance, the Maryland Secretary of Agriculture and Maryland and Delaware watermelon farmers.

If this isn't enough, they're handing out watermelon recipe cards, too.

About the bloggers

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

Contributor Christy Zuccarini has been blogging about the local DIY craft scene for a year for Baltimoresun.com. She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
