I am a massive fan of pickles. After asking my Subway artisan to add more pickles immediately after he applied the “extra” pickles to my sandwich the other day, he asked me if I just wanted a pickle sandwich; the answer was yes. Well, I’ve got an event for my fellow pickle lovers. The In a Pickle Festival will be occurring from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow at 701 Common Street, New Braunfels. According to a facebook post, the day will be filled with fun, food and all things pickle. There will be pickle snacks galore, including “a wide variety of pickled treats, from classic dill pickles to unique pickle-flavored snacks like; pickle pizza, pickle chamoy, pickle snow cones, pickle beer, pickle roasted elote, pickle salsa, pickle cotton candy, freeze dried pickle items, pickle popcorn and pickled ice cream.” There will be around 25 canning vendors and over 100 vendors with pickle-themed merchandise. There will be a pickle canning competition at 1:20 p.m., kids and adults pickle eating and juice drinking competitions from 1:40 to 3 p.m. and a pickle pet parade at 12 p.m. Tickets can be purchased on eventbrite.com.
