A PICKLE HERE, A PICKLE THERE.
THAT WAS THE THEME ON THE FIRST SATURDAY OF SEPTEMBER IN DOWNTOWN GRAND PRAIRIE.
IT'S GPS FIRST EVER PICKLE FEST FEATURING 80 VENDORS SPREAD OUT ALL THE WAY FROM CITY HALL PLAZA TO THE FARMER'S MARKET AND READY TO SERVE THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT CAME TO CELEBRATE THE OCCASION, INCLUDING MANY THAT EVEN DRESSED THE PART.
THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO EAT AND DRINK WITH PLENTY OF SPECIALTY ITEMS LIKE CUSTOM MADE COOKIES, SOME PICKLE JUICE, PICKLE JUICE, MARGARITAS, AND EVEN SOME PICKLED PEPPERS.
THERE WAS LIVE ENTERTAINMENT TOO, AND A PETTING ZOO AND FOR THE MORE ADVENTUROUS TYPES POP UP, PICKLEBALL COURTS FOR ADULTS AND KIDS AND WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG HIT.
WHEN I SAY GO EAT AS MANY PICKLES AS YOU CAN UNTIL I SAY STOP, OKAY, THE PICKLE EATING AND PICKLE JUICE, DRINKING CONTESTS THAT FILLED UP FAST WITH PLENTY OF PUCKERING PARTICIPANTS, ALL OF IT.
POSITIVE PROOF FOR THE FESTIVAL'S, PLANNERS THAT PICKLES ARE VERY POPULAR.
I'VE EVEN HEARD REPORTS OF PEOPLE COMING ALL THE WAY FROM WACO.
YOU KNOW, WE JUST SAT AROUND AND THOUGHT PICKLES WOULD BE REALLY FUN, AND THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE HAS BEEN SO OVERWHELMING.
IT'S, IT'S A GREAT DAY OUT HERE.
I ACTUALLY WAS LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS, SO I'M GLAD TO KNOW IT'S THE FIRST ONE.
IT LOVE THE FAMILY ATMOSPHERE.
THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE IT LIKE MANY MORE TIMES.
IT'S NOT JUST A ONE TIME THING.
NO NEED TO WORRY BECAUSE OFFICIALS HAVE ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT PICKLE FEST WILL BECOME AN ANNUAL EVENT.
