Summer 2025 - Update

Sweet Summer is Here!

We are thrilled to share that we have an amazing new group of queens representing us, we've been busy completing so many fantastic events, and our association just held our most successful auction ever! Most importantly, we proudly awarded scholarships to our incredible AgriFutures recipients this year.

Queen Program Update

We crowned some new Queens in April and since then they have hit the ground running! They have already completed 23 promotions! We have more promotions scheduled, including Newberry Watermelon Festival, 4 grocery store promotions for memorial day weekend and more!
For an in-depth look at all of the events and appearances our queens participate in please follow us on Facebook or Instagram!

BEST AUCTION EVER!

Thank you everyone who attended our Annual Auction. It was a wonderful time and we raised a record-breaking amount for the AgirFutures Scholarship Program - $53,297! All of those funds will go towards ten $5,000 scholarships next year.
Congratulations to Cody Singletary with Bayshore Farms for winning the largest watermelon contest!

Congratulations to our King Buyer - Melon 1. We are so grateful for all your support!

Announcing Our New Intern

The DWA is proud to announce that we have a new intern, Miss Jaylin Hickox. Jaylin is the daughter of Jenny and Jason Hickox. She will be a senior at Charlotte High School this coming year. She is assisting us in many ways and is such a treasure to our association already! She has been a big help on promotions and behind the scenes. Jaylin is pictured with our Princess Bailey.
