Day one of the Ice Cream Capitol of the World’s signature summer celebration kicked off this morning with a Community Coffee event at the Wells Visitor Center and Ice Cream Parlor. During the event, the “first scoop” of Ice Cream Days was taken by 6-year-old Scooper Hero Rowan Kimble, who says he’s excited to take part in the festivities.
Scooper Hero Rowan will be featured during Saturday’s parade and at several events across town during the week. This is the second year Ice Cream Days features a Scooper Hero chosen among area children, and Wells Ice Cream Parlor senior manager Beth Meyer says it adds to the Ice Cream Days experience.
Meyer says having a Scooper Hero involves children even more in Ice Cream Days and in the community.
Other notable events taking place today include the Tri-State Cruisers Classic Car Show, starting at 4pm at the Olson Cultural Events Center, and a Municipal Band concert in Foster Park starting at 7:30pm.
