#18: Crowning the Melon Royalty
In a cute 1960 scene, ten-year-old Barbara Walp and thirteen-year-old Willy Jones look very proud as Miss New Jersey, Susan Barber, crowns them the King and Queen of the Watermelon Festival. Sitting with large slices of fruit in their laps, they represent a small-town community spirit. This must be a cool childhood memory, forever marking their dominance during the season of watermelons.
