Grandfather of all watermelons

Courtesy photo
BILL NEWMAN grew this 66 pound watermelon

in the sandy soil of

Beech Grove. He thought it might fetch

some cash for the

Jasper County Junior

Livestock Foundation. They sold $1 chances at

the rodeo this past

Saturday and earned exactly $66, Newman is pictured with his greatgranddaughters,
