The Holiday Inn Express always tries to have giant Hope watermelons on display during the summer and this year is no different.  The hotel’s Charleton Luker is shown here checking out melons that weigh (from left to right) 128 pounds, 205 pounds, and 115 pounds.  The melons were grown by Lloyd Bright here in Hempstead County.  A giant Lloyd Bright melon is also on display at the Hampton Inn in Hope.  The public is welcome to stop and see the melons.
