Urban Cowboy, Stanhope Style...

Bring your best John Travolta impression to this year's Watermelon Day.

YEE HAW! The Watermelon Day Committee passed along that there will be a new feature this year, a mechanical bull. The bull will be open for riding from 1:00 to 4:00pm in the park. All ages are encouraged to try it. This new feature will be sure to form crowds as family and friends see how long they can stay on the bull. Don’t be surprised if you think you’re at Gilley’s at this year’s Watermelon Day… this is sure to be a great hit.

In case you haven’t totally circled it on your calendar, programed into your palm pilot or simply tatooed it to your hand, the 50th Stanhope Watermelon Day is Saturday, July 21st.
