As you may have read in our <a href="http://www.sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/2014/02/dreaming-of-summer.html" target="_blank">last post</a>, Sweet Ice has some exciting changes coming this year. The biggest change is that we're moving away from street service and festivals, and spending more time in the world of weddings. We've <i>loved</i> our time at Art Crawl, Supercrawl, and so many other amazing local festivals. We are so thankful for all the times you've lined up at our booth, and enjoyed our snow cones - thank you from the bottom of our hearts!<br />

Over the years, however, we've become more and more excited about the thing that has always set Sweet Ice apart - our all-natural, made from scratch syrup. Our syrup is something we create very slowly, in small batches, with a lot of care, and we love to be able to chat with people about the syrup, the fresh ingredients, and 'slow food' in general. The fast pace of festivals just doesn't allow for that. We've come to find that the creativity and relaxed vibe at weddings really works for Sweet Ice. What that means, however, is you won't be able to find us in public very much this year, except for a few occasions! (read on...)<br />

There are three important things that you, our beloved snow cone fans, need to know:<br />
<br />
1) <b><u>Feel free to let your friends know about snow cones at weddings.</u></b> It's just the cutest idea, and so refreshing, delicious, and unique. Without street service, we'll need our pals to help us get the word out there, so we appreciate you sharing the love! If anyone you know is interested in booking, they can email 'info@sweeticesnowcones.ca' for more info and prices.<br />
<br />
2) There's an announcement! <b><u>Sweet Ice Soda is back!</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>

We want people to continue enjoying our syrups, and they are amazing as Italian sodas! So, beginning this weekend and next, we're rolling our syrups into a few of our favourite Hamilton coffee shops. We started this last summer, and are eternally grateful to the Cannon for giving us a cozy home to work out all of our kinks! This summer, we're expanding, and will be in four local shops! Spanning from east to west, you'll be able to enjoy Sweet Ice Soda at <b>The Cannon</b>, <b>Cafe Oranje</b>, <b>Cake & Loaf</b>, and <b>Detour</b>.</div>

3) <b><u>We'll be having pop-up shops throughout the summer</u></b> at these locations, so people can still enjoy a Sweet Ice snow cone! Keep your eyes on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sweeticesnowcones?fref=photo" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/sweet_ice_cones" target="_blank">Twitter</a> pages, to get announcements on where we'll be set up. There won't be much notice - basically we'll just see if it's hot enough for a snow cone, announce the location, and then show up to sell our cute treats!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello dear friends! Even though we're currently under a few feet of snow, Spring and Summer <i>are </i>coming (we promise!), and we're starting to dream about warm weather and wedding season over here! As you may have noticed, our little snow cone company has evolved a bit over the years. We originally focused on Art Crawls, moved into festivals, then we started doing weddings, and even began offering our syrups in soda form at a local coffee shop. This year, we'll be a bit different yet again! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've decided to focus our energies on some of the things we find most enjoyable about Sweet Ice, and one of those things is celebrating with brides and grooms on their big day. Our focus for 2014 will be weddings, and it seems to be the right direction for us as we're already filling up our weekends!</span></div>

You wouldn't believe how often people ask if we have a store somewhere. Like...I guess they think it would be a really great idea to have a <i>whole shop</i> that just sells snow cones. Hmm. Well, anyways, so far our delicious all-natural syrups have only ever been available at our booth, in the form of a snow cone, but we have <b>big news</b>!</div>

Everyone who comes to our stand and orders from us <i>knows</i> we are a snow cone business. BUT, there is something that gets lost in translation every once in a while, and that is the fact that we make <i>all</i> our syrups from scratch, with fruit that is as local and organic as possible.<br />
<br />
Really, that's the thing that makes Sweet Ice unique! Most people have had a snow cone or two in their time, but chances are, you've gotten it from a carnival vendor who pumps it out of a plastic jug he ordered on the internet. One of our favorite examples of Sweet Ice being misunderstood is when we ask a customer which flavor they'd like, and they say:<br />

Friendly Customer, we don't hold this against you. We are products of our culture! We are slaves to mass-produced, artificial, corn-syrup ridden alternatives! But we're going to clear this up, once and for all. "Blue" is a color, not a flavor. Blue is not in season right now. Blue, my friends, should not be consumed.</div>

Okay, so we went to the best event on Friday night. We had been gloating about it all week, so maybe you've heard about how we got to serve spiked snow cones on a moving train. Is that even allowed? Apparently it is! And it was awesome. Put on by Wilfred Laurier University Student Publications, <a href="http://www.community.thecord.ca/all-aboard-for-steel-rail-sessions-2013/" target="_blank">Steel Rail Sessions</a> has been happening for a few years now, and is described as Nuit Blanche on a train. Basically, every car contains some kind of art installation, or dance party, or bar, or SOMETHING, and then the train would stop every once in a while with interesting shows, acts, and food outside for the guests to enjoy. It was great.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The train was beautiful and old, and had these giant windows with a perfect country breeze. Our car was pretty full most of the time, which was hilarious, because every time the train would slow down or go over bumps, we'd all have to try to stay standing and not fall all over each other. It was chaotic, but probably one of the most fun events we've done.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">One of the coolest things about this event was hearing people talk about Kitchener, and how much they love it there. Apparently there are some really amazing cultural things bubbling up there in the arts and music scenes - we had no idea! People talked about it they way that we talk about Hamilton, and that was really encouraging. It's just a good thing for people to stand together on a train and drink spiked snow cones, and talk about the cities they love. Steel Rails, thanks for choo-choo-choooosing us. xo</span></div>

The warm weather is here, and Sweet Ice is back at the Art Crawl! We weren't sure if we were going to make it back, as our regular spot at the Tivoli is no longer an option, but we found a cute little home on the <a href="http://www.mulberrystreet.ca/" target="_blank">Mulberry</a> patio! We'll be there during July and August Art Crawl as well, so make sure you stop by. :)</div>

We made sure to savor the Art Crawl over the Fall and Winter, because now that it's snow cone season, we don't get to see too much! I think this month's crawl was one of the busiest and most jam-packed that I've ever seen it. On every corner and in every store front, there was something magical happening! Very cool, Hamilton.<br />

We served snow cones at a <a href="http://www.saltfleetsoccer.com/" target="_blank">Soccer Fun Day</a> to 800 CHILDREN. They were sweaty and yelling and they were wanting snow cones at 9:00 in the morning. Breakfast cones. The words "all-natural" and "organic" meant nothing to them - they asked for "blue" and we told them we didn't have blue but they could have pink or red or orange. 8-year-old children requested espresso cones that were meant for their parents, but we served it to them anyways, because why not. They were adorable and awesome and cool, and it was a really <u>fun</u> day.</div>

Behind the Scenes<span style="font-family: inherit;">We're finally crawling out of our winter hibernation, and starting to book up quickly for the summer. Yay! We can't wait to jump back into snow cone slinging! But for now, it's still a tad chilly out, and The People aren't quite ready for ice (fair enough), so we thought we'd tackle a project before the sun comes out in full force.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A while back, my friend <a href="http://www.oakandmyrrh.com/" target="_blank">Aisling</a> posted <a href="http://shop.kinfolkmag.com/product/volume-seven-ice-cream" target="_blank">a picture</a> that got our wheels spinning. (Thank you, Kinfolk, for continuing to inspire the nations!) We needed some product photography, and we really wanted to capture the fact that our snow cones are made-from-scratch with all-natural ingredients, so we set out to capture a before-and-after set of photos. The photos aren't quite ready, but I already know they are going to be beautiful!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We got our floral supplies from <a href="http://www.ifiori.ca/" target="_blank">i fiori</a> on James St N - you <i>need</i> to go check this place out if you haven't been. The owner, Bev, is just the sweetest lady, and she's so passionate about what she does. She has literally made me cry when she talks about the ethos of arranging flowers. She's amazing, and the shop is so beautiful.

Yay! Wedding photos! We got to see the photos from Nic and Karyn's wedding and they are GORGEOUS. It was such a beautiful day, and we were so honored that Sweet Ice got to be a part of it. It was so much fun to make snow cones for the whole wedding party, and then see now how well those photos turned out...</div>

The August Art Crawl marks one year of snow cone business for Sweet Ice, and we're feeling pretty nostalgic about it. <a href="http://sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/2011/08/august-art-crawl.html" target="_blank">Only a year ago</a>, we were packing up for the crawl, making sure to focus on all the "important" details (matching shoes?!). We headed to the Art Crawl, so proud of our ten (ten!) bottles of syrup, saying things like "Do you think we'll sell any?" and "What if we sell NONE!?". To our amazement, we sold out very quickly, and a year later we now know better than to make just ten bottles.<br />

It's been such a good year for us. We've been welcomed into the small business culture of Hamilton with open arms. We've had the honor of spending time with the most <a href="http://sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/2012/07/heads-up-feelin-inspired.html" target="_blank">amazing business owners</a>, and have learned so much from them. We have gotten a taste of the food truck world, and have watched in amazement as <a href="http://twitter.com/gorilla_cheese" target="_blank">some incredible people</a> led the way for a mobile food revolution in this city. Hamilton is full of talent and inspiration, and we're so glad we get to play a small role in that.<br />

I think if we could describe our experience with Sweet Ice so far in a few words, they'd be 'fun' and 'humbling'. Owning a business is fun! Who knew?! We get to develop our own flavors, and it's part of our <i>job </i>to spend time picking fresh Ontario fruit. We get to spend time brainstorming with some of the most
creative people we know, and call it a “<a href="http://sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/2012/04/decisions-decisions.html" target="_blank">business meeting</a>”. We’ve learned to <a href="http://www.sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/2012/02/back-to-school.html" target="_blank">screenprint</a>, we’ve played ‘<a href="http://sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/2012/02/happy-valentines-day.html" target="_blank">postman</a>’, we got to experience the intensely fun process
of making a <a href="http://sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/search/label/%23sweeticevid" target="_blank">COMMERCIAL</a>, and best of all, we get to chat with all our customers
every time we set up shop. That’s the most fun part – all of you! You’re so
damn nice! And humbling - we say it all the time, but we are so overwhelmed by the support and all the smiles in this city.

So tomorrow, one year after our nervous debut, we'll set up in the same spot, and we'll have the same <a href="http://koripop.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">talented lady</a> busking beside us. And hey, we're so excited about our little first birthday that we thought we'd have a contest about it! Starting today at noon, we're going to have a contest where you can be entered to win one of three commercial prize packs!<br />
<br />
All you have to do is:<br />

That is a very good prize! And it all comes wrapped up in a <b>Sweet Ice tote bag with two free snow cones</b>! You can enter today and tomorrow (two entries per person), and you must be able to pick the prize pack up at Art Crawl (or have someone get it on your behalf). The contest will end at 5pm tomorrow, and we'll draw the three winners and announce them at 6 o'clock, just before the crawl!<br />
<br />
Post away, friends! And we'll see you tomorrow night!<br />

This past weekend we got to be part of the amazing outdoor reception at Aaron and Cath's wedding. These dear friends of ours are ultra-creative, and we knew their wedding would be incredible, down to the last detail. Beautiful ripped fabric curtains, hand-embroidered table numbers, vintage bridesmaid dresses - this wedding was perfect in every way. *Update - they even had our favorite graphic designer create their invites; <a href="http://jubileecreative.ca/2013/03/01/city-love/" target="_blank">see more here!</a></div>

Sweet Ice had a whirlwind of a weekend! I (Meg) was on bridesmaid duty, which meant it was our first event without both of us slinging cones! Kind of bittersweet - bitter because I missed out on the snow cone fun, but sweet because I did get to enjoy Sweet Ice as a customer and we got to welcome some new faces behind the stand. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cannoncoffee" target="_blank">Anne</a> and Jaimi rocked it!

We participated in a campaign with <a href="http://www.kitestring.ca/" target="_blank">Kitesting</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/coreurban" target="_blank">Core Urban lofts</a> - if you tweeted something that you loved about the core you'd get a free snow cone! There was a live #iheartthecore Twitter feed set up at the Lister Block, and it was so great to see all the uplifting responses that came in about why people love this city! Read all about it at <a href="http://iheartthecore.com/">iheartthecore.com</a>.</div>

<a href="http://twitter.com/cbchamilton" target="_blank">CBC Hamilton</a> is so nice - we just love 'em! They allow us to plug in at their building (thank you!), they played our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dFYQIzEC3M" target="_blank">new commercial</a> on loop during the crawl (thanks again!) and they had a super cute photo booth set up. Look at those adorable snow cone fans!</div>

I got to stop in at Sweet Ice on my way to the rehearsal dinner and when I walked up I was surprised to see...ACROBATS. Yes, acrobats. This is Hamilton's art crawl, which is consistently amazing and interesting, so I shouldn't really be so surprised, but it <i>was</i> a little unexpected! Kevin and I indulged in some Apple Cider and Raspberry Green Tea snow cones, respectively, and I had a great time checking out the art crawl!</div>

Another highlight: Stopping in at the <a href="http://twitter.com/blushshop/" target="_blank">Blush mobile shop</a>! Michele has turned this vintage caravan into a super cute pink shop and she came from Guelph to enjoy the art crawl! As always, it was lovely to run into the <a href="http://twitter.com/BeauxMondes_" target="_blank">Beaux Mondes</a> ladies here as well!

Then we moved on to another amazing event! My sister-in-law got married on Saturday and we were so honored that they requested Sweet Ice to be a part of their big day. Karyn and Nic are the cutest couple to walk this planet, and their wedding was just SO BEAUTIFUL!</div>

(WHAT?!) Prime snow cone season! You may be wondering (or you maybe haven’t been wondering) where we’re setting up lately. Well friends, things are a bit slow moving with Sweet Ice these days. We do have a bunch of great snow cone events booked for the next few weeks, but they are mostly private as we work towards getting our trailer renovated and getting licensed by the City of Hamilton. It's a bit of a trudge these days, but with so many amazing new things happening around us, it's easy to keep our spirits up and march on. We'll get there! The trailer will SOMEDAY be renovated, and then there will be snow cones for all!

The trailer is named Frankie, and the operators of this brilliant little scheme are Matt and Katie, who are just the sweetest (Not sure if you kept up with our tweets or instagrams of this meet & greet, but we’re basically SMITTEN). They set up at the Oakville Farmers Market and serve amazing Detour products from their trailer. It’s magical. </span></span></b><br />

One of the highlights: going around the room and finding out how each duo came into existence. Another highlight: we had ice cream in tea cups. And all the pictures you see were taken by the one and only, <a href="http://www.loveitalot.com/p/about-us.html" target="_blank">Hollie Pocsai</a>. :)</span></span></b></span></b><br />

THANK YOU!<b id="internal-source-marker_0.34940893785096705" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After weeks of </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">prepping, planning, inviting, crafting and lots of hype, we filmed the Sweet Ice commercial on Saturday and it was SO MUCH FUN! It was a dream come true for us, and we were so incredibly humbled by how many people came out. When this commercial was just a twinkle in our eye, we could not have anticipated how smoothly this day would go. We chatted over many lattes and laughed about how cute it would be to have a ‘snow cone mob’ rush through to the trailer, and when that moment was filmed, we were speechless! It was overwhelming to see so many happy faces, a bunch of whom we had never even met (with balloons, felt fruits and flags), there to show their support and be a part of something fun in the city! Wow! We love you Hamilton!</span></span></b>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The countdown is on! Our commercial is <i>this</i> Saturday! We've got about 100 people <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/429385980412416/" target="_blank">signed up to attend</a>, and we're still looking for more, so as you make your plans for the weekend, please ask your friends, and see if there is anyone you know that would want to be part of a very fun little project!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's the plan: grab all your friends and meet at <a href="https://maps.google.ca/maps/place?q=Hill+St+Park,+Hamilton&cid=10498316461790338470" target="_blank">Hill Street Park</a> (in Hamilton, just off Dundurn) at 7:20 pm on Saturday. There will be some Sweet Ice reps there to greet you with a smile, give you the low-down and get everything prepped. All of you snow cone fanatics will get into formation, and will basically be bursting around a corner together in a big mass of excitement to create a super-happy Sweet Ice parade. At the end of the procession, you'll end up at our vintage camping trailer for snow-cone-glow-stick mingling, and we'll wrap the whole thing up within a few hours. All you need to worry about is showing up, bringing a cheery snow cone attitude (not sure what that entails besides lots of laughs!), and wearing a cute outfit. We've put together some inspiration outfits for you - just think plain but fun with summery colours. Here, take a look:</div>

Things to specifically note: modest, family friendly attire; no logos, text or symbols on clothing (unless it's <a href="http://sweeticesnowcones.blogspot.ca/2012/06/memorabilia.html" target="_blank">Sweet Ice memorabilia</a>); no distracting colors (ie. neon). We will have fun props, but if you're looking to bring something we'd love it if you brought fruit! Tote along a pineapple! Juggle some lemons! Balance an apple on your head! Sweet Ice loves fruit, and we welcome it with open arms. We hope our instructions here make it clear enough, but still leave this open enough for you to find something to wear that you feel really comfortable in! If you have <i>any</i> questions, please don't hesitate to <a href="mailto:info@sweeticesnowcones.ca" target="_blank">email us</a>, and we'd be happy to answer! We'll see you at 7:20 on Saturday evening! And again, if you know anyone else that would like to join, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/429385980412416/" target="_blank">send them the link</a> and have them click 'Join', <i>or</i> just bring 'em along!</div>

*<u>IMPORTANT</u>: Sunday is the rain date, so if we need to postpone, we'll let you know via Facebook and Twitter, and everything will be moved to Sunday at 7:20 pm. But don't worry, it's just...not going to rain.</div>Meg and Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16207080317734444456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506374665396762554.post-91045161218453585732012-06-14T23:59:00.002-04:002012-06-17T23:40:35.397-04:00Memorabilia!Did you hear? Did you hear? Sweet Ice has memorabilia now! We worked with our friends at <a href="http://flyprint.ca/" target="_blank">Flyprint</a> and <a href="http://www.theprintstudio.ca/" target="_blank">The Print Studio</a> to develop some super cute tanks, tee's and totes, and they're for sale now!<br />
<br />
We've had lots of comments and questions about how people can get their hands on this stuff, so we've tried to make it pretty simple for you: the tanks and tee's are $20, and the totes are $15. You can order from our online shop (<a href="http://sweeticesnowcones.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">here!</a>) and if you have any questions, just <a href="mailto:info@sweeticesnowcones.ca" target="_blank">send us an email</a> and we'll sort it all out. :) Look how CUTE everything is!<br />
<br />
So, there are tanks with snow cones - these guys are loose-fitting and very comfortable. Basically, you'll want to live in this thing all summer. Adorned with our adorable snow cone, this American Apparel tank is available in black, grey and white. Ladies, it'd look especially cute with a colorful bandeau under it or even over your bathing suit! The snow cone is so super summery, making this tank perfect for the hot weather these days. Keep in mind - unisex sizing!<br />

Oh, and totes! Who could forget? Well, we did, so we didn't get any pictures of them, so here is our adorable friend Meag "toting" hers proudly. You can get it in yellow, teal (pictured) or fuchsia. Now that I'm looking at this, I'm pretty sure the arrow wasn't necessary, but hey, we said we were trying to make this simple.<br />

Here goes!<br />
<br />
First off, do you want a snow cone? You're probably wondering where to find us!<br />
<br />
This Friday we'll be at the James Street North Art Crawl, set up on the Tivoli Theatre lot (next to the CBC building). We were there last summer, and it was so fun to be on a little grassy knoll, right in the heart of the crawl.<br />

We'll be serving snow cones there from 7-10, and we've got 5 amazing flavors that we're sure you'll love, including a new flavor - our Raspberry Green Tea snow cone made with an amazing loose leaf Pear Green Tea from <a href="http://www.detourcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Detour Cafe</a>! AND because this is our first Art Crawl of the year, and because we love the ladies over at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/whiteelephantshop" target="_blank">While Elephant</a>, we've got a super special promotion happening:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
So make sure you stop by their shop at 133 James St N - we're pretty confident you'll see something that you love, and then get a free snow cone out of the deal at the same time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
Then, <i>after</i> the Art Crawl, starting at about 10:30, we'll be set up at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thebaltimorehouse" target="_blank">Baltimore House</a> serving SPIKED snow cones! Our after-parties have been quite the hit this year, so make sure you get there early as the place usually fills up pretty quickly. Fun, fun, fun! And yes, Ke$ha is a musical genre now.<br />

Just two more things: last week we announced that we're <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/429385980412416/" target="_blank">filming a commercial</a>! In order to do so, we need a bunch of props: fruit heads, pinwheels, banners, you know - really happy things! So...we're going to bake some cookies, pull out our safety scissors and meet up to fashion some adorable fruity crafts. We know there are lots of you crafty types out there in Hamilton, so we thought we'd <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/310516259034932/" target="_blank">open up the invitation</a> and see who wants to come. We now present:<br />

Sweet Ice is filming a commercial! And we want <i>you</i> to be in it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is our official casting call: young and old, tall or short, quiet or loud - no experience necessary! We're going to make a short commercial that is basically just chock-full of happiness and reflects how much we love snow cones, this city, and all the people who make it up. Our ridiculously talented friend <a href="http://brooksreynolds.com/" target="_blank">Brooks Reynolds</a> is filming it, with a song produced by the wonderful <a href="http://othersongsmusic.com/" target="_blank">Mr. Jeff Wynands</a>, and starring the always delightful <a href="http://koripop.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Kori Pop</a> - we're sure the day will be full of laughs and just lots of fun all around. All you need to do is find the right outfit (we'll post some inspiration), show up with a smile, and we'll show you what to do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're filming on Saturday, June 23rd (with Sunday the 24th as a rain date), so if you're around that weekend, we'd LOVE to have you! Brooks has officially said "more people = better commercial", so we're hoping y'all want in! Exact times and locations are still to be determined, but it'll be sometime in the afternoon. Please click 'join' on the Facebook event (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/429385980412416/?context=create" target="_blank">here</a>) if you wanna be a part of this. Here are some things you can expect:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Meet lots of happy people and make new friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Get an <s>annoying</s> amazing Sweet Ice jingle stuck in your head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Our vintage trailer - in all it's renovated goodness!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Fruit heads. YOU CAN BE A FRUIT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. The releasing of doves (this is our #1 priority), confetti cannons and just pure ridiculousness...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yippee! We're so excited!!!</div>

We have lots of Sweet Ice meetings...usually at least one every week, especially with our season starting up again. But the meetings we look forward to the <i>most</i> are when we get to sit down with our graphic designer <a href="http://www.jubileecreative.ca/" target="_blank">Julie</a>. It's just so much fun to dedicate a few hours to being CREATIVE. She helps us think outside the box and step back from the ideas that have been swirling around between just the two of us.<br />
<br />
With the trailer renovations beginning and our busy season approaching we met at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/MulberryStreetCoffeehouse" target="_blank">Mulberry</a> with lots to talk about...but most exciting was our hands-on discussion about trailer colors. Choosing the color of our Shasta is one of those decisions that we're <i>so</i> excited about but the <i>most</i> scared of - so much commitment to one color! We thought we'd test out our options and see how we felt...<br />

So here are the colors we're choosing from. We took them from our logo and we love all of the options! 1 & 5 are a berry/plum color, 2 & 6 are mustard yellow, 3 & 7 are teal and 4 & 8 are a coral/orange color. We're also trying to decide between the two-toned look (1-4) or just the simple lightning bolt (5-8). So many decisions! We'd love to know what you think - let us know by leaving a comment (and the number of your pick) below or on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=399164870105658&set=a.219637424725071.56952.218437314845082&type=1" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/sweet_ice_cones/status/195508053871820801" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</div>

We hit capacity as soon as it started, and the lineup for
snow cones basically didn’t end all night!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To everyone who came out – we’re SO humbled by your
excitement and support. Thank you for waiting to get in, and thank you for
dancing up a storm, and thank you SO MUCH for contributing to our Operation

<br />
First, we were featured in the <a href="http://www.thespec.com/news/business/local/article/699414--entrepreneurs-find-sweet-spot-for-cold-treat-venture" target="_blank">Hamilton Spectator</a> last week! Lisa Marr put together a lovely article that was in the Business section and focused on our <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/operationshasta" target="_blank">Operation Shasta</a> fundraiser. We had a great time talking with her about the campaign, and we went to <a href="http://bennettsapples.com/" target="_blank">Bennett's</a> for a little Spectator photo shoot. Here are a few photos we took on our phones during our very short time at Bennett's. We were just so thrilled to enjoy our first snow cones of the season!<br />

Next exciting item: We have our first event of the season this week! And you're invited! We're having an <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/317580824972043/" target="_blank"><b>Art Crawl After Party</b></a> at <a href="http://www.baltimorehouse.ca/" target="_blank">The Baltimore House</a> on Friday. By that point we'll have about a week left of our fundraiser, so we're looking at this as a 'Success or Distress' party - we'll either be celebrating with you if we're close to raising our goal (SUCCESS!) or crying with you if we're not (DISTRESS!). It starts at 10pm, and there's no cover - all the more reason to indulge in some delicious snow cones! All proceeds from snow cone sales will go towards our <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/operationshasta" target="_blank">trailer fundraiser</a>, and we'll be pulling out some of our most popular spiked snow cones for this special event: The Apple Jack (Apple Cider Syrup + Jack Daniel's), The Daiquiri (Strawberry Lime Syrup + Rum) and the Margarita (Lime Syrup + Tequila)...YUM! Hope you (and everyone you know) can make it!</div>

We're so excited! <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/operationshasta?a=418074" target="_blank">Our fundraiser is up and running</a>!<br />
<br />
Since Sweet Ice was just a little dream that we chatted about over lattes, we've always thought that selling snow cones out of a vintage trailer would just be the cutest thing ever. Then, wonder of wonders, this amazing 1962 Shasta came our way, and we couldn't resist! Our goal is to renovate our adorable vintage camping trailer so we can serve snow cones out of it this season! We think this will make Hamilton a more fun and interesting city, and we're so excited to get started on our renovations. We need a little bit of help to get this project underway, so we've put together a fundraising campaign on <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/operationshasta">indiegogo.com</a>, to raise $4000. We just launched last week, and we're blown away by the generosity - we're already over halfway to meeting our goal!<br />
<br />
If this is something you can get behind, <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/operationshasta?a=418074" target="_blank">please head over to our campaign page and watch our little video</a>. Every bit helps, and there are really great prizes to go along with your donations, like t-shirts, and buttons, and private parties, and custom flavors, and limousine parties...no joke. We're so excited to start renovating, and we're SO thankful for all the contributions. It's amazing to see what can happen when we're supported by such an amazing community in Hamilton. Thank you again!<br />
