So this year should be another star-studded gala during our local Watermelon festival. I have information that Archie and the Moot-Scoot Chasers will be here straight from their six day gig in Posthole holler. Why, these boys can really play them guitars. In fact one of them things has 6 strings. Whooooooeee ! We are sorry for the tragic hay baling accident that left Homer Jeffer unable to bring his collection of steam-driven combs. Too bad, we was lookin’ forward to seeing him again. Oh, but heck, let’s not forget our main attraction this year; Ace Cannon ! Whooooooee, man, that boy can sure play that dern thing. Mr. Cannon will be playing this year with the help of the ‘breath-o-matic’ oxygen system that’s mounted to his custom “Scoot-Around” motorized chair.
This year with all the rain and such we need to warn you that the Watermelons are locked and loaded. We mean it ! Last week one of them things just exploded on its own most nearly tearing out the back of Jed’s garage down past the old oak tree where the big dog used to sit Thursdays.
Well, just talkin’ about all this has got me hankerin’ to mosey on down and get me a seat before all the crowds get here from all them dang Yankee towns up North. We’re a hopin’ this year it will be a little cooler than them last couple of festivals when several folk just auto-combusted.
See ya'll soon - it's a slice of the Goooood Life, friend
