Kevin, Sara, and I visited the Sweet Pete’s Pickle Fest at March Farm in Bethlehem, Connecticut. The fest was on the Hilltop and easy access from the parking lot. Parking was $5 and the entry was free. There were bounce houses, face painting, some other great activities for kids, and a lot of craft vendors on the Hilltop. The food trucks, a mobile coffee trailer, and the pickle stands were separate from the vendors. They also had a band “Kevin & The Hammers” playing at the event.
I purchased a “Beach Life” gnome from a craft vendor from Red Barn Crafts. I informed her about the Harvest Fest in Watertown in mid-September. I would love to see her Harvest and Halloween gnomes and might purchase some more down the road. I also let the lady from Glass Act know about our Harvest Festival in town. They both seemed to have a busy schedule but were interested and asked me to leave more information in an email. Hey, the more the merrier. I always like more variety and don’t have to drive half across the state to get it. Let the vendors come closer to me if they can do it.
Kevin also had to get pickles, of course. We ended up purchasing two different containers from Jersey Pickles. They were so good. I believe, I ate more samples than what we bought. Especially the olives tasted so yummy. It was the first time, I tried pickles and horseradish. I love pickles, and I love good ol’ horseradish. But the two together, I have to get used to that taste. If they had a smaller container, I would have taken one.
Overall it was a nice afternoon at the March Farm. Many people came out to visit and taste pickles. The weather was perfect for the event.
