Favorite Festival Games

Close. We're in Arkansas. The Pickle Walk actually got started because we were next to Atkins, AR where they made Atkins Pickles and they donated the individually wrapped pickles to us. Like 15 cases.

When they moved operations to Mexico, they shut the plant, but everyone missed the Pickle Walk so much that now we vacuum seal our own pickles. You can get them for 21 cents a piece in the gallon jars. Cheaper if you buy the five gallon buckets.

I run the PeeWee football concession stand and sell 3 gallons of pickles each game. I guess we are just rednecked, hillbilly, pickle eaters.

Pickle walk. That screams of Texas! Is that where you are by any chance. I never saw so many pickle sales as there were there!

how about a toilet paper throw? We just added this this year. It was a huge hit, you have a toilet seat hanging from a rack and the kids get two rolls to try to throw in it. they think it is silly, it really wasn't meesy either. We also added touch and feel boxes that was a huge hit!

A pickle walk really?? That's popular? That's too funny.

We also have plinko. Basketball Toss is HUGE with the older kids, this year we had Wheel of Fortune and Skee Ball.

Our biggest is the Cake Walk though.

We also rent a jumper/inflatable of some type that does well.

Probably our favorite remains the Pickle Walk. Just like a cake walk, but the winner gets a pickle.

Our old school built sort of a "Plinko" board in the fashion of Price is Right. They have little trinkets in the base of the game in different columns, where ever the token lands that is what prize they win. Pretty cheap too because its only a piece of plywood and some nails.
