To celebrate Watermelon Day, the Riverside Farmer's Market in Roswell will hold watermelon eating and seed spitting contests Saturday, with Georgia's 2012 Watermelon Queen officiating. Laurel Higginbotham's visit, from 8 a.m. to noon, is part of her official duties to welcome in summer and teach Georgians about the plant's nutritional and economic value.
There will also be a children's tent, live music and made-to-order crepes. The Fulton County Cooperative Extension operates the farmer's market every Saturday morning in the parking lot of Roswell City Hall, 38 Hill St.
