When your city is in the running for title of “Watermelon Capital of the World”, how do you spend National Watermelon Day?

Stop by the Muscatine Art Center (1314 Mulberry Ave Muscatine) on Friday Aug 3 (National Watermelon Day) from 1-2:30 p.m. to enjoy Taylor’s Market’s melons and more!

Watermelons were cultivated as early as a few million years ago and are still a summertime favorite. Muscatine is known around the United States for the quality of their melons.
