This year's CT Pickle Festival was an absolute blast! The energy, the excitement, and the sheer love for all things pickles made it an unforgettable event. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a sea of pickle enthusiasts, all eager to celebrate their shared passion.
One of the most delightful sights was the long line of people waiting to take pictures with the Average Pickle cut-out. The cut-out became an instant hit, with fans of all ages lining up to capture their moment as a pickle. The smiles and laughter were contagious, and it was heartwarming to see everyone come together for such a fun activity.
Merchandise sales were through the roof this year! We sold over 100 Average Pickle Festival plushies, each one bringing joy to its new owner. And the Croc jibbitz? They were a runaway hit! With over 400 sold, it was clear that pickle fans couldn't get enough of these adorable accessories. Watching people walk around proudly displaying their pickle jibbitz was a highlight of the festival.
CT Picklefest 2024 was a complete success, and I can't wait to do it all over again next year. The community, the camaraderie, and the sheer fun of the event made it an experience to cherish. Here's to many more years of pickle-filled fun!
