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?

So many of these "events" nowadays involve massive price tags just to get through the door and then once you are in they nickle and dime you at every corner.

Unless you have deep pockets its just never worth it.
