Watermelon Social

Nothing signals Summer more than the vine-like flowering fruit, Watermelon, which has long be known for being a staple to any "good" Fourth of July Party. Nothing breaks the heat like a Watermelon Social. And nothing can compare to Arkansas Watermelons.

As the canoe full of watermelon rolled in and the water slide inflated, residents in Partnership Village eagerly anticipated an evening full of fun, fellowship, and of course, watermelon. Although we didn't break Arkadelphia, Arkansas' Lloyd Bright's record for the heaviest watermelon (weighing in at 268.8 lbs, recorded at the Annual Hope, Arkansas Big Watermelon Contest on September 3, 2005), the evening was a hit. 

We would like to extend our gratitude to First Baptist Church for hosting the first and hopefully annual Watermelon Social in Partnership Village. It was a great to way to kick off the Apostle's Build recruitment season and welcome students from around the world as they arrive in Saline County to participate in the only Habitat Learn and Build Alumni Experience Build for 2013. We are anxiously awaiting for next year's Watermelon Social.
