Six Flags Great Adventure Brings Watermelon Seed Spitting to New Jersey

RIDGEWOOD, N.J., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer would hardly be summer without
watermelon, right? The National Watermelon Association of the US thinks so.
On July 4th, in celebration of our Nation's birthday and National Watermelon
Month, The National Watermelon Association will join Pathmark, Sweet Mama
Produce, The Wumblers and numerous additional corporate sponsors in hosting
the largest, nationally organized watermelon seed spitting competition for
kids in the Northeast held at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ.

Kids between the ages of six and thirteen will compete on July 4th for the
title of Watermelon Seed Spitting Champ 2009. The top four contestants who
can spit their seeds the farthest will win numerous prizes including a plush
Baby Wumbler, an official watermelon seed spitting t-shirt, a gift card from
Charlie Brown's Restaurants and a "Meet and Greet" with top country recording
artist LeAnn Rimes who will be performing live at Six Flags that night.

Those same champion seed spitters will then go on to compete for the top title
on a nationally televised talk show at a later date. A "one of a kind" grand
prize contributed by one of the hottest athletes in the NFL will count amongst
the many prizes the national watermelon seed spitting champion will receive.
