Giant watermelons grown by the Bright family are hallmark of Hope and at Tuesday’s Hope Farmers Market Pat Bright Rhoads displayed the first one of the season.  Rhoads, who owns BeDazzled at 104 South Main in downtown Hope was at the market selling face masks but also showed off a 139 pound melon grown by her brother Lloyd on the Bright Farm near Rocky Mound.  She also had a giant zucchini grown by her brother.  As soon as we hear about where a giant Bright watermelon is placed on display we’ll let you know where it is so you can bring visitors to go see it.  With all that’s topsy-turvy in the world this year, it’s good to know Lloyd Bright is still growing giant Hope watermelons!
