2021 Queen Promotional Tour
The GWA is very fortunate to have Lindsey Westberry serving a consecutive term as their public relations representative this year! While she virtually promoted sweet Georgia watermelon most of last year, she is excited to be out and about in retail stores, schools, Truist Park, ATL & Co interview, athletic events and other venues sharing the health and nutritious benefits of this sweet and tasty fruit. Lindsey's favorite and most memorable promotions are the times she spends one-on-one with Georgia farmers. Thank you to Seedway for coordinating these visits with south Georgia producers to tour their operations and learn more about the industry.
The GWA is proud of the hard work, dedication and adaptability the GWA Queen, Lindsey Westberry, has shown throughout 2020 and 2021! As she adjusted to the new normal of social distancing and virtual promotions, she created some of the most unique experiences while connecting with consumers and promoting our favorite treat!
