watermelon

Behold and beware of the rare and elusive, volatile, exploding watermelon of Oklahoma. This fermenting and dangerous melon has claimed dozens, maybe even hundreds this spring and summer.

It's the sweetest, juiciest and longest-running watermelon festival in Sooner State. Get ready for Oklahoma's premier watermelon festival returning in 2023 bigger and better than ever before.

There's a small town in Oklahoma that's known as the watermelon capital of the world. If you've spent any time in the Sooner State or know your watermelons, you're familiar with this place and its EPIC MELONS!

Life hacks are great, except when they're not.

Even in the best governmental system in the universe, there will be periods of self-serving stupidity.  I believe that is what is happening right now in the Oklahoma state government concerning the ongoing debate on whether the watermelon is a vegetable or a fruit and whether it should remain the state's official vegetable.

Summer and watermelon go together like summer and heat waves, but cutting the tasty fruit can be a messy and time-consuming affair. What to do?

Watermelons - they’re sweet, enticing, and you usually get them from late spring until early fall. You can see them in the stores as early as March, but in order to get the best homegrown watermelons from the Lawton area fruit stands, you will have to wait until late summer.

Every year it is the same tradition. It starts with the Memorial Day weekend, signaling the unofficial start of summer. People are heading off in different directions. Kids are out of school and the fun begins.
