Rush Springs Annual Watermelon Festival
I haven’t been to the Watermelon Festival in many years. This year our grandson Lane is going to be in the Little Tots competition. So it was worth fighting the crowds to watch him be on stage.
So we live in the country and when we got to the highway intersection we saw a bad wreck right in front of us. A black car turned into a truck with a stock trailer. It shook me up. It took less than a minute for the police to arrive thankfully as they were at the football field. We continue on to the park and it took us 30 minutes to get to park because of all the traffic. Keep in mind our small town has normally a little under 1,200 people, during festival day it swells to over 20,000 people. Then I had a motorcycle that didn’t even look as he pulled out in front of me. Wow!
Lane on the stage answering his questions and then he sings Jesus loves me. He did amazing on stage.we were all so proud of him. We wasn’t sure how he would do but dang he did so much better than we thought. I was thinking he would freeze up when he seen everyone in the crowd.

Went to see the crafts and goods being offered at the festival. It was getting hot and more crowded as the morning wore on.
Lane and Landon on the carnival rides Friday. Ignition.
Landon is excited to be driving the car. Love watching how happy the boys were at the carnival.
Lane said the hot air balloon ride was his favorite ride.
Lane got 3 rd place in the Little Tot competition.

After leaving the festival we went to Marlow to eat lunch at Esperanza.
Chips and dip was served as always. This could be a meal by itself. I always eat way too much of the chips.
My food was so good had to have the street tacos. This is our favorite restaurant to eat at that is close to us. The food is always delicious and everyone is so friendly. We do have to drive to Marlow, Oklahoma but it’s only a 15 minute drive.
