Joey Yandle says they have a watermelon that weighs 177 pounds on display in front of Yandle's Roadside Market on Assembly Street.  Yandle says he was riding through a farmer's market, saw it, and had to have it.  He thought it would attract attention and customers.  So far it's working and he's not sure if he's willing to sell it.
