The American Legion have been selling Sugar Town Watermelons since Sunday to raise money for their Scholarship Fund.
The Scholarship fund is something the Legion does annually, which this is one of many ways the public could help in creating this fund.
The Scholarship fund raises $2,000 and any extra money raised goes into the maintenance fund. If you would like to, you can do so by buying a watermelon or two at the American Legion Vermilion Post 29 building.

When Councilman Francis Touchet Jr. brought up trash and debris pickup during Tuesday’s Abbeville City Council meeting, the concern didn’t center around whether items placed by the side of the road would eventually get picked up.

A man wanted in connection to a stabbing death in Abbeville Thursday afternoon is now behind bars.
