This quilt block shows a seasonal snocone stand. The top of the snocone stand has giant fake snocones coming out the top. They are pink and look like ice cream cones. Below that is a yellow canopy with a frill at the end. Then there are boards forming an H that are brown. Below the middle board is the front of the stand, which is a darker yellow than the frill. On the front is a picture of a wave in a circle, and underneath that the words in black pen, "Tropical Sno"

I love snow cones!

This summer, we were happy with the addition of a snow cone booth. In the parking lot of the new bagel shop and dental office is Tropical Sno.

They have a cute new summertime booth with such yummy flavors.

They have some fantastic flavor combinations.

I’m kind of boring, my favorite is cherry, the same as when I was 10 years old.
