I wonder if Aunt Bee is going to enter her infamous kerosene pickles in the contest?
It ain't Pickles if Aunt Bee is not there!
man there is so much to do in this city LOLZ
Well Jackson IS in a pickle.....
I offered to take my wife to the pickle festival but she refused.
@10:56am - Yeah, mine usually refuses too. Aint been the same since we got married. Almost like bait and switch or something...
I wonder if the koolicle guy will be there?
I’m just gonna make my wife come.
I never understood as a Mississippi Tax Payer why do I have to pay to enter a state owned building for a “For Profit Event” where vendors are charged to participate. Has this been standard practice or is the result of tax cuts.
I predict within two years, this will become bigger than the old "Zippity Doo Dah" parade in The Fondren.
(And yes ... Aunt Bee's pickles were the first thing I thought of as well. The second thing I thought about was Andy's 40 gallon cowboy hat).
Personally, I hope Pelahatchie restarts their Muscadine Jubilee.
Nothing more entertaing than seeing cute little girls from local media have a grape stomping contest.
Jazz Fest & Memphis in May . . . watch out !
The Jack Town Pickle Fest is now in a position to overtake both of ya'll.
(provided we have water that weekend)
7 bucks ?! And I assume the old fellows will be collecting parking fees ? Overly priced event. I will take a hard pass.
" old fellows will be collecting parking fees ? "
That's much better than paying Jackson teens for the same parking spot.
I love pickles, I'm sick of being isolated by Covid, I'm vaccinated, and I'm going to make my husband come with me. I hope they are selling pickles by the jar so I can bring some home with me.
