Welcome to the 28th year of the Yoakum County Watermelon Round-Up! We run a fun and laid back event, and if we all follow the rules, we can keep it that way! The ‘Blanket’ organization for the Round-Up is the Yoakum County Connection. The YCC supports the Arts in Yoakum County through proceeds received during this one-day event! We appreciate your time here and we want you to enjoy the day!
All proceeds are governed through a 501C (3) account, and all decisions are made, under quorum, of and by our Board of Directors. Money raised will contribute to UIL One-Act Play, Art events, Choir, and Band for both schools in Yoakum County, Plains ISD and Denver City ISD. If you would like to include a donation to further support our kiddos in the Arts, please feel free to do so. I can provide a tax statement for you or your organization. If you have questions, please contact me (Karen) at 806-215-0047 or at karenred4444@gmail.com
