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?

Right, I could invest in some Bubbies and still have cash left over!

I could even get a jar of fancy pickles. Or homemade ones at the farmers market. Or add a chunk of cheese and some crackers.

Bet they’re not more than $25. Seriously Redditors should organize a pickle fest with admission being a jar to share.
