Largest Wilkinson Melon
Don’t be discouraged when
reminded that some years ago
the late Ed Adams, one-time
County Commissioner, came
to town with a 105 pound
watermelon. Ain’t that sump
thin? They just don’t get
that big any more. Or do they?
Maybe you want to hold
that 98 pounder a little
longer, but the biggest Wilkin
