Open Streets

Sweet Ice took part in Open Streets on Saturday. What a great event! Basically, they close down James St, and people can just meander through the street at their own pace. There was a really diverse crowd, and it just seemed that everyone was in the best mood possible. We got to make some lovely new friends, including a carrot!

Whoa, It's Us!

We were featured on TWO AWESOME BLOGS last week! First, Happening Hamilton - thanks so much to dear Katie Shoreman for the post; your words were WAY too sweet! Favorite quote: 'How can you choose just one? Well, that's why I ended up having four!' And it's true, she was double-fisting snow cones all evening. Thanks again, Katie! Can't wait to see you tear it up on the dance floor!

*Update: She really did dance up a storm. Proof here.

Second, the Love It A Lot blog, brought to you by the amazing ladies at White Elephant! Jane just wrote the sweetest things - we were blushing when we read it! It's actually such an honor to be loved by people who are doing such amazing things in this city. Thanks guys!

Supercrawl!

Oh goodness. Supercrawl is amazing! What a crazy day!

We had a great time at our booth, and got to meet so many wonderful people. Our flavors were a total hit, and we sold out just as the night was wrapping up. We’re so grateful for all the support and positive feedback we got, and we felt so honored to be part of such an incredible event. It seems like everyone is feeling really proud to be part of Hamilton right about now. I think it'll take all of us a few days to come down from this city-high we've got going on...

You can find more Sweet Ice Supercrawl pictures here! And for pictures of the rest of the event, you can look here, here, and here, just to start! 

We’ll be at Open Streets this weekend, so maybe we’ll see you there!

Bennett's = Fruit Heaven

Went to Bennett’s this past weekend to pick up all our fruit for Supercrawl! Bennett’s does an amazing job of sourcing local farmers and providing fresh fruit from local farms when it’s in season. They also grow a lot of their own items (apples, corn, squash, etc), and make the MOST AMAZING apple cider. Make way for the apple cider snow cone, Hamilton!

Announcement! Party Alert!

BIG announcement!

Something very exciting is happening over here at Sweet Ice! Maybe you’re heard…we’re throwing a dance party!

And it’s not just your regular, run-of-the-mill dance party. No, people. It’s going to be AWESOME. It’ll be at Vasco Da Gama on Saturday, October 1st, so make sure you keep it open!

Other amazing things about this party? Music is by the lovely DJ Donna Lovejoy (of Mulberry’s ‘After Dark’ fame), there will be mixed-drink snow cones (RIGHT?!), and get this: A GIANT LITE-BRITE. Can you tell we’re excited?

Hope you can make it! Tickets are limited. See you there!

August Art Crawl

Wow! What an incredible night!

We set up shop at the August Art Crawl, and really weren’t sure what to expect. We couldn’t have asked for a better night - the weather was amazing, we had the lovely Kori Pop performing at our stand, we were lined up all night, and we sold out by 10:00! We’ve had great feedback since the event…Hamilton seems to LOVE snowcones, and we couldn’t be more pleased!

We were approached about a few more events we hadn’t counted on, so you’ll be hearing about those soon, I’m sure. How exciting!

You can see more pictures from the Art Crawl on Facebook, here. Thanks to everyone who came and tried a snow cone! We can’t wait to see you at Supercrawl!

Aprons!

Meg here! I’ve been away at the cottage for the week, and I whipped up something cute while I was there. The cottage is amazing, and the most relaxing place in the entire world BUT I’m not so good at just doing nothing…so I brought my sewing machine!

I made these from an outdated pattern, and they were a little more complicated than they needed to be, but they were fun to make and turned out great.

Special thanks to my lovely MIL, who helped me with…everything. She’s an apron-saver…

We’re so excited to wear our new aprons at Art Crawl this Friday! We’ll be sure to update with some pictures!
