Our 3rd annual One in a Melon Home Makeover contest!

Update! We will have two winners this year. We will be judging for a CLASSY melon themed home/business and a WHIMSICAL themed home/business. This can be any home or business in the Milan area! ! We’re inviting all of you to show your spirit by decorating the outside of your home in all things melon! The home with the most spirit will receive a gift basket including Milan and Melon Festival treasures!

Judging will take place Friday, September 1st and the winner will be announced via Facebook before kicking off the 2023 Milan Melon Festival!
