Super shaped watermelon anyone?

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA) is gearing up for this year’s Watermelon Carving demonstration and taste testing.

From traditional basket carvings to elaborate designs that resemble a T-Rex dinosaur and other figures, and the best part comes after all the carvings are displayed and fairgoers get to sample the delicious watermelon.

This year, NMDA will have a local professional chef on hand to demonstrate the different techniques and tools used to carve watermelons.
