Illiana Watermelon Association Convention

We held our 22nd Annual Convention at the Casino Aztar Hotel in Evansville, Indiana. This year's theme was "Watermelon At The Mardi Gras".   Carrie held her  "President's Reception" on Friday evening.  Again, the watermelon seed spitting contest was loads of fun.  Afterwards some just hung out in the meeting room, while others "went to the boat" (casino).

Everyone agreed the food and accommodations were great.  We heard news from the NWPB, the Indiana Department of Agriculture, Purdue and the NWA in Saturday's general session.  Afterward, we held our annual fund raising auction.  We wish to thank our donors , buyers, and sponsors for this year's events.

At Saturday night’s banquet, our new queen, Miss Sabra Brianne Boyd  was crowned by our outgoing queen Sylvia Crowder.  Our judges selected her from 8 lovely contestants who competed during the course of the convention in categories such as Speech, Sportswear, Personal Interview, Video Interview, Evening Gown and others.
