                   2010 CAVE CITY WATERMELON FESTIVAL

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate the 
residents of Cave City in my home State of Arkansas as they celebrate 
the annual Cave City Watermelon Festival, a time-honored tradition that 
commemorates watermelon growing and its importance to the local 
community.
  Home to the ``world's best watermelons,'' Cave City is a close-knit 
community located in Northern Arkansas. Since the 1930s, Cave City 
residents and other Arkansans have gathered to take part in the 
Watermelon Festival.
  Sponsored by the Cave City Area Chamber of Commerce, this year's 
event will take place August 12-14 and will feature a variety of music, 
games, a parade, and a beauty pageant.
  Mr. President, I salute the entire community of Cave City as they 
celebrate this annual event. I commend them for keeping the history and 
heritage of their community alive.

                          ____________________
