May Family Donates Watermelons to Arkansas Sheriff’s Youth Ranch

Ms. Martha May and family watermelon growers donate 75 watermelons to the Arkansas Sheriff’s Youth Ranch in Batesville. Hempstead County Sheriff James Singleton and Daughter Lacey Jo took the melons to the ranch in Batesville.

For the last 17 years Ms.  Martha May and her late husband Jackie have grown a special patch of watermelons for the Arkansas Razorback Football Team However due to a scheduling conflict the Razorbacks were unable to accept the melons.

 This year the May’s decided to donate the melons to the Arkansas Sheriff’s Youth Ranch. The melons were loaded and taken to the Batesville campus for all the kids to enjoy and enjoy they did.

Thank you Ms. May and family
