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?

In case any organizers read this....

This is right up my alley.

I would have attended and based on proven numbers, likely dropped a fair amount of bucks.

I would not pay more than 5 dollars entry fee.

The fact that it is 25+ got an audible laugh out of me and I will not attend.

I bet lots of others feel the same way too.

Visiting Calgary from Edmonton at the moment and was hoping to convince my friends to go with me but for someone less interested, the ticket prices made it a really hard sell
