MOUNT OLIVE, NC—Mark your calendars: Mt. Olive Pickle Company, Inc. will hold its annual New Year's Eve Pickle Drop Sunday, December 31, 2017 at the Corner of Cucumber & Vine in Mount Olive. 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.) "This has turned into a great event for families and children, as well as older adults," said Lynn Williams, company spokesperson. "It's early, it's quick, and it's just a lot of fun." In the last several years thousands have turned out to watch the lighted, three-foot pickle drop down the company's 45-foot flagpole and into a perfectly preserved redwood pickle tank at precisely 7 o'clock. Video screens mark the countdown of the year's final hour, from 6-7 p.m. The Harmony Boys will perform from 5:30-6:15, and then deejay L.J. Manley will lead the crowd in line dancing. Free refreshments – hot chocolate, cookies and pickles – are also served. Another part of the Pickle Drop AREA JANUARY CALENDAR OF EVENTS tradition is the canned food drive for the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. Those bringing canned food or who make financial contributions receive a chance to win door prizes at the evening's end. The grand prize is a pool pickle similar to the one that is dropped.
