Few Pics of Cordele Watermelon Festival

My wife and I prepared for the annual Watermelon Festival last week in hopes of selling some R.A.G. Fly jigs and try and sell some Crappie.com T-shirts and hats. I think it was the hottest festival ever. The temp was 94 and heat index reached a little over 100. Didn't sell that much but was able to promote R.A.G. Fly jigs and Crappie.com.Attachment 94344Attachment 94345Attachment 94346Attachment 94347


The first picture is of the Georgia Watermelon Queen that stopped by our booth. The second pic is of Betty Hayslip, widow of co-founder of R.A.G. Fly jigs and the 3rd pic is of my nephew that has learned how to make the R.A.G. Fly jigs and his name is Zack Parker.

I forgot about the pic of the set up. That set up took almost an hour or better to set it all up the way we wanted.

Looks like fun. Wish we would have made down.

BTW, I've published the story and pics on the crappie.com home page. Great job Rusty. And you have a picture of the Watermelon Queen in front of the Crappie.com banner. Very cool, even if it was hot!

Rusty, that crappie mount is about the best I have ever seen, who did that? nice job at the fish fry for the old folks like me. and thanks to all that helped you. wish I was closer to you so I could help out. Thanks ! Jimmy
