The McDade Watermelon Festival

From The McDade Watermelon Festival Website:

And you ask why we do it? We do it for the BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY! The profits from the festival each year continue to help our school, which this year will add 9th & 10th grade High School for the first time since way back then. We also help our community food bank, Elgin library, historical museum & local youth groups, including a scholarship fund for McDade students graduating High School . So when you come to our Watermelon Festival, We want to say THANK YOU & have a good time and enjoy small town fun with your family.
