Atwoodfest 2024

This is the tenth year of Atwoodfest, in this incarnation. We've gone every year since 2016 but for 2020. Dancin' in the street!

A pretty good Saturday afternoon.

I like the slogan on the bottom picture - carrots and ice creams. Mind you... is carrot ice cream invented yet? I'm not sure if that would be nice.; July 29, 2024 at 2:10 PM
Scoakat said...: They are, the Barrymore Theater will be 100 years old in 2029. It holds about a thousand people and I've been to several shows there.

Yes their slogans have made it viral a couple times. :)
Very good, very rich ice creams.

I just looked and they do have a Carrot Mango Italian Ice!

Blue Witch said...: Old theatres are wonderful. So much atmosphere.

With mango it sounds OK. Carrot ice cream on its own - I have my doubts! Out of iterest, how much is such an ice cream over there? Here it would be around £3.50 for a single scoop in the NE, but likely £4+ down south.; July 30, 2024 at 2:48 PM
Scoakat said...: At their Atwood store, where that picture was taken out back, her sugar cone was $6 and my waffle cone was $7, (generous) single scoops. Pints are $8, quarts $15 and half-gallon for $25. Certainly not cheap and much more than ordinary ice cream, but oh so good!; July 30, 2024 at 7:26 PM
delcatto said...: Looks like a great weekend and I do love those theatres. Is that one of the allegedly haunted ones?; July 31, 2024 at 11:13 AM
Scoakat said...: It is! One of several in the state, I think you posted a link to a podcast about many of them before.
I saved the following to watch later (Preview below, documentary on Amazin' Prime linked therein.) Looks very interesting, actually.
