Day 2 of the MarDel Tour was a blast! 🍉

First, we handed out watermelon on the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach! Watermelon is such a refreshing summer treat! ☀️🍉

Next, we stopped at a Food Lion for an in-store promotion! The MarDel folks are just as kind as our North Carolina ones! Definitely a new favorite place of mine! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who made this tour possible! 🍉
