Jubilee Royalty
The Watermelon Jubilee has two sets of royalty. Queen Melone and her court is more formal while the Rodeo Queen and her court have a western theme. The coronation of Queen Melone dates back to 1937 and the Rodeo Queen dates back to 1962. Both courts represent Stockdale at various parades and other events.
