My friend Chris Kent from Sevier county Tennessee shattered the old world record for a watermelon of 268.8 pounds held by Lloyd Bright of Hope, Arkansas. Chris took his 40" long & 67" girth melon to the Yardkin Valley Pumpkin Festival in Elkin, North Carolina on Saturday September 25 and it weighed in at an astounding 291 pounds. He surpassed the old world record by more than 20 pounds. He had earlier set a new Tennessee state record at the Tennessee State Fair in Nashville with a 264 pounder.Congratulations to Chris Kent and his wife and fellow grower Janet.
