Our daughter, Jen, was there for the day with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina and we helped as volunteers.
The festival was well attended. Here you can see some of the funny pickle souvenirs.
The pickle packing challenge.
Vendors lined up on main streets and along the railroad tracks (trains were not running that day).
Our granddaughter found some fun things to do.
And after a long hot day at the festival, Maddie and Papa were pretty exhausted.

It just tickled me that the pickle festival is held in Mt Olive... must be my warped sense of funniness. :)
Great pictures...as usual.
I love pickles, there is something very refreshing in the sour taste. As a matter of fact, I will buy pickles on the way home from work today; your post made me want some.;))
I am happy for the lovely warm weather that you had during a wonderful weekend.;)
We used to live in Clinton, NC, not far from Mt. Olive. It was so wonderful to see the acres and acres of cucumbers growing there.
Looks like a Wonderful day for everyone!! The cucumbers look tasty!!!
Happy day sweetie!hughugs
HA! I agree with Protege. I am craving a pickle!! And, a cold beer :-) We are having another unbelievably warm day here in the mountains of PA ....with very few leaves on our Oak trees. EEGADS!
Looks like everyone had fun. WHat a fun day :-)
That looks like a cute festival. I always buy Mt. Olive pickles but never knew they had a pickle festival. The things I learn through blogging :-)
What a fun festival & wonderful cause you and your daughter were volunteering for! Sounds like you all had a fun weekend :-)
I love pickles, but I have never gone to a pickle festival. What fun. Your daughter and granddaughter are gorgeous. What fun.
