Food Themes in the SCDs

Ok, this is perhaps a little silly, but can anyone post an image from the SCD book of a SCD medal that involves food/agriculture? I have seen a few throughout the book but do not own most of them. I am starting this off with an HK-728 I own celebrating Spokane and ... Apples!

An interesting subject even if a little different. Shall we start with peaches? One of the favorite So Calleds in my collection is the Utah Peach Day silvered Hk-653a. In all my years of collecting I've never run across another collector who had one so I've considered it pretty rare. One of my favorite non listed tokens which should be listed is 1898 39mm Colorado Rocky Ford Watermelon Day. Do you have one of these tokens?

I feel so strongly that the Colarado Rocky Ford Watermelon Day token should have been listed I'm going to send a picture of it anyway. The obverse has the State Seal of Colorado as so many So Calleds do so it should have qualified.

The next food comes to mind on a nice token is Citrus which would represent HK-639 another nice elusive token. ,

HK-639 Citrus Fair Festival .

That is a nice example of 639.

Here is another peach SCD.... 1894 Peach Day(Sept 11, 1894) from Grand Junction, CO.... #92a from John Raymond's unlisted so-called dollars. Now I guess there are two....
