4th of July Parade Features Pickles

The 4th of July parade in Lexington, MI features pickles in addition to candy and other items that are more traditionally seen handed out at parades.  This has to be one of the few parades in the country where pickles are featured and it seems like a great idea.  In addition to the kids and other pickle lovers who enjoy receiving the pickles those who are lucky enough to get asked to throw pickles into the crowd also enjoy their duties.  No word yet as to if these pickles being handed out are individually wrapped or what form of packaging they may be in.  This seems like an idea worth getting on board with and perhaps Texas Tito’s will bring this unique 4th of July tradition to New Braunfels, Texas and distribute individually packaged dill pickles to the large crowd that gathers every fourth of July for the parade.
