What:
This national competition, held at Chandler Park on Park Lake, attracts
thousands of visitors each year - some from as far away as New York,
Australia and Algeria. The current seed-spitting record is 61 feet,
3 inches for men and 39 feet for women. Participants need plenty of
napkins and a big appetite! In addition to the speed-eating and
seed-spitting championships, the event also features melon sculptures, a
parade, free watermelon and a water-ski show.
