Apparently Luling pins its identity to the watermelon. The weekend of ApolloCon 2007 Luling was having its annual watermelon thump, so we decided to stop and see what was going on. Things may have quieted down at 6 pm on Sunday, though, because there weren’t any festivities going on, not counting farmers’ market. Indeed, farmers’ market was selling watermelons and other produce. If anything more exciting was happening during the day, we missed it.
