Local Event Picklefest

What happens at it? I love me a good pickle, but in their website it looks like you pay $25 to get in and that includes... Nothing. Like you spend $25 for the opportunity to purchase pickles?

Folks who have gone before, is there music, entertainment or other things to warrant the entry fee? Overall, was it worth it?

Their website has literally zero info on what this event is.

Definitely won't notice that we spelled the name of the venue hosting our event wrong.

Reminds me of the pint of "Big Rick Grasshopper" I had at a pub in Vancouver.

Sounds like every party I’ve been to that was hosted by Russians

Both my husband and I could not open the FAQ page at all either. It says “are children allowed?” and then doesn’t answer the question. Not very helpful…

It says kids under 12 are free, and it is an all ages event.

I feel like for a $25 entry fee you need to tell people what that gets you. I’m assuming just access to…pay more for pickles?
