If you are in the New Jersey area, like
watermelon, are between the ages of six and thirteen and would like to
meet LeAnn Rimes, you may just be in luck. On July 4th, Six
Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey will host the largest,
nationally organized watermelon seed spitting competition for kids in
the Northeast.
In honor of both
our Nation's birthday and National Watermelon Month, kids between the
ages of six and thirteen will compete for the title of Watermelon Seed
Spitting Champion 2009. Those who place in the top four will win a host
of prizes, including a plush Baby Wumbler, an official watermelon seed
spitting t-shirt, a gift card from Charlie Brown’s Restaurants and a
Meet and Greet with country recording artist LeAnn Rimes who is set to
perform at Six Flags that night. Those same contestants will then go on
to compete for the top title on a nationally televised talk show at a
later date.
Watermelon slices
will be free to park patrons, courtesy of Sweet Mama Produce. The
National Watermelon Queen as well as the chapter queens from both
Florida and Maryland-Delaware will be on hand as well, handing out
watermelon slices and assisting The National Watermelon Association
officiate the event.
This
promotion was created by The Wumblers, a new children's brand, which
based the promotion on the fact that Baby Wumblers are born from
Watermelon and July is National Watermelon Month. A percentage of the
proceeds from all of the Baby Wumblers sold at the park related to this
event will be donated to Tuesday’s Children, a non-profit organization
made up of innocent child victims of 9/11. Other sponsors of the event
include RhinoFX, Temple Inland Inc, Charlie Brown Restaurants and The
Florida Watermelon Association.
