August is a great month for watermelon! In many parts of our country, you'll even find watermelon festivals and celebrations during August. Watermelon is a great snack when it's hot outside, and since it is 92% water, it also helps keep you hydrated. It makes a great snack for sports activities, and it tastes great! Here are some fun ideas to try.
