2000s
Spit Farther! (2001) Directed by Paul Stekler, this 2001 documentary short showcases the annual Watermelon Thump in Luling. Held every June for more than 50 years, the weekend event features a parade headlined by the Watermelon Queen and her court, contests for best locally grown watermelon, watermelon eating, and, as the main event, the “world” championship watermelon seed-spitting contest.
