The Yankees have the Red Sox, Joe Frazier has Mohammed Ali, and Lady Liberty has Mr. Pickle.
Lodi's two titans of curbside advertisement, Lady Liberty of Liberty Tax Service and Mr. Pickle of Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop, faced off against each other Saturday in a dance contest as part of a fund-raiser and car show organized by the Lodi Professional Network and hosted by Pizza World.
Emceed by Tom Presler of Fitness Systems and the Lodi Professional Network, the two contestants took turns dancing to classic pop culture songs like Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back."
Though Lady Liberty had the support of fans wearing Liberty Tax Service foam hats, the statue mascot was no match for the moves of the dancing dill. At the end of the contest, Mr. Pickle won by overwhelming applause from the crowd.
Proceeds from the event will go to a charity that sends cell phones to troops overseas.
