Last year a bunch of
Fleaharmonics went to
Sechler's Pickle factory on our way home from the Midwest Uke Fest. Most of us went on the factory tour, and all of us purchased some pickles to take home. You can read about that visit in
this post.
Sal and I love a good tradition, so we -- and most of the other Fleaharmonics -- decided to stop at Sechler's again this year. Happily, everyone's feet sported proper attire, so we could all go on the factory tour. The lady behind the counter knew we were return visitors when we came in. How? Because she recognized Sal!

| Closed toe shoes - check. Hairnets - check. The Fleaharmonics are ready to go on the factory tour! |
 |
| While waiting for our tour to begin, we stepped into the small pickle museum adjacent to the factory store. Here are Nicole and Sal posing next to a photo of President Eisenhower -- and a letter from Ike thanking Sechler's for sending him pickles. |

| Who knew? |
 |
| Thomas and Sal next to some pickle sheet music. Methinks we should learn this song for a future visit! |
 |
| Sal and the pickle-loving Fleaharmonics posing with the giant pickle. Another tradition! |
After purchasing many jars of pickles, we all traveled homeward. We will enjoy the memories -- and the pickles -- until we return next year!
