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.
