An annual event at the Meade County Fair provides a chance to know who eat exactly how much food. The Watermelon Eating Contest is a newer traditional event that provides some entertainment before the demo derby on the Thursday night. This year was no different from previous years.

The contest has simple rules eat as watermelon as you can, and clean the piece down to the rein. There are two divisions which are Youth and Adult. There were 13 youth contestants and 14 adult contestants for this year’s contest. Cain Brothers took the top spot for the youth and Ed Stull ate his way to the top in the adult division.

Each received not only all the watermelon they could eat for the contest but also got a trophy for their effort.
