In an era where identity and representation are hotly debated topics, Hershey's approach to International Women's Day has sparked significant controversy. Opting to feature a man in a dress as part of their campaign, the company has drawn criticism from those who feel that this choice undermines the very essence of a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements and addressing the challenges women face. Critics argue that such decisions by corporations not only misrepresent the intent of the observance but also fail to honor the real and substantial advancements made by women throughout history.
Canton, OH — Brace yourself for a unique blend of holiday spirit and pickle crunch at the Canton Holiday Pickle Fest, happening on November 30, 2024, at the Stark County Fairgrounds.
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Exhibition Building will become a playground for pickle lovers. Nine vendors, including local favorite Randy's Pickles, Michigan's viral Dill Daddy Pickles, and New York's M&M Pickles, will offer a variety of flavors ranging from sweet to spicy.
Beyond tasting pickles, there's plenty to do. Join a scavenger hunt for pickle prizes, or enter the raffle for a chance to win an OLED Nintendo Switch and other treats. Each vendor purchase equals a raffle ticket, so the more you buy, the better your chances.
The festival menu includes pickle mac and cheese, freeze-dried candy, and pickle cocktails. You can also shop for pickle-themed gifts from local artisans.
This event isn't just about fun; it supports the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, giving back to the community.
Entry to the festival is free, with parking available for everyone, including handicapped spots. VIP tickets offer early entry for those wanting to start the celebration early.
Save the date for a day of tangy delights, community spirit, and holiday cheer. Whether you're a pickle aficionado or just curious, this is the place for unique holiday fun.
