Mt. Olive Pickle Company, Inc. will hold the 10th annual New Year's Eve Pickle Drop Wednesday, December 31, 2008 at the Corner of Cucumber & Vine in Mount Olive, NC.
The New Year’s Eve Pickle descends down the flagpole at the stroke of 7 p.m. midnight – that’s 7 o’clock EST, which also happens to be midnight Greenwich Mean Time. (That way, we are official, we shout Happy New Year! - and we don’t have to stay up until midnight.)
We advise those attending to get here early, because the whole thing’s over at 7:05.
Event Details:
• See a lighted, three-foot pickle drop down the company’s flagpole and into a perfectly preserved redwood pickle tank at precisely 7 o’clock.
• Watch the countdown of 2008’s final hour, from 6-7 p.m., on Mt. Olive’s marquee
• Meet Mr. Crisp, the eight-foot tall pickle
• Enjoy live music by the Harmony Boys and free refreshments (including pickles)
• Bring canned food items to benefit the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina (www.foodbankcenc.org) and receive a chance to win a door prize.
• For driving directions, go to www.mtolivepickles.com and click on Contact Us.
• About 2,000 people gathered at the Corner of Cucumber & Vine for the 2008 event (which is a pretty good turnout for a small town of 5,000…)
