Mt. Olive Pickle’s Participation in the NC Exhibit at the Great American State Fair
June 26, 2026
Mt. Olive Pickle Company was invited to participate in the North Carolina exhibit for the Great
American State Fair in Washington, D.C., as part of America’s 250th celebration. We are proud
of our North Carolina roots, and we agreed to be a part of an exhibit, as presented to us, that
would represent the best of our great state.
We were unaware that an image of the Confederate flag was included in a video as part of this
exhibit, and we have withdrawn our participation. Our company stands on values of human
dignity, opportunity, and freedom.
