With a name like Sugartown, the watermelons had better be sweet.
Their roadside watermelons stands were doing pretty good business on Saturday, as the Fourth of July holiday time is a favorite time for families to enjoy watermelons. Prices generally ranged from $6 to $12 depending on the sizes of the melons.
Katie Lair of Alexandria, who picked out a watermelon for her family at Lasyone’s stand, said she wants the watermelon to be “sweet, good, juicy.”
When it comes to eating watermelons, “sometimes I put salt on it, but I like it cold,” Lair said.
She tapped on the melons as she was picking one out because she’s always heard that “the hollower it is, the better.“
