(WITN) - The New Year’s Eve drop in a Wayne County town was nominated as one of the best in the United States. USA Today recognized the Mount Olive New Year’s Eve pickle drop. Held at the University of Mount Olive, it is the fourth year in a row they have been recognized, according to a press release. It brings around 5,000 people each year, with the pickle descending at 7 p.m. and a fireworks show following the drop. “It’s amazing that our event has captured such national attention. When we first started nearly 30 years ago, we joked that Time Square had nothing on us,” said Lynn Williams, Mt. Olive Pickle spokesperson. “We are still a long way from Time Square. But the Pickle Drop is truly a big dill here.” The pickle drops from the Mount Olive Fire Department’s Tower 23 ladder truck, according to the press release. USA Today released an article nominating 20 drop traditions across the United States. People can vote for their favorite tradition on the website, and the top 10 events will be announced on Dec. 3. Voting closes on Nov. 30 at noon. This year’s Mount Olive event marks the end of the Mt. Olive Pickle’s centennial year celebrations. </div></body>
