What would prompt these two ice cream mavens to journey to Austin? A spectacular store-opening celebration including free ice cream, a Vespa giveaway, “celebrity” scoopers, carnival “activities”, and “name” entertainment. What makes this store so special? Well it’s operated by LifeWorks, who apparently puts at-risk kids to work scooping ice cream. What could be a better way to kick off summer than check out a free ice cream carnival featuring Ben and Jerry in the flesh? Did we mention that it’s free? There must be a catch, right? ERROR: Rhetorical question limit exceeded.
Ahem. The event takes place at the Ben & Jerry’s on 5th and Lamar this Sunday, May 14 beginning at noon. Extra parking is available in the AISD lot next door. We don’t mean to be grim, but these two guys eat a lot of ice cream. They’re not really in the best shape. How can we put this? We don’t know how much longer Ben and Jerry have until the ice cream takes its toll. All the more reason to come out and see them. One last time.
