Well, you aren't the only one who's been asking this question... in fact, some people have suggested that there should be a way of getting the answer right from home or even on your cell phone, instead of just trying to guess what comes after Passionfruit... so here it is:http://twitter.com/snowballstand start following us now, and be the first to know when we have Guava or Kiwi again and

We love to serve you better any way we can at The Snowball Stand! Each customer is a unique individual, and therefore the perfect snowball is different for every person. With this in mind, we ask that if there is something that takes a snowball from acceptable to exquisite according to your tastes, let us know before we make it! Want extra syrup, or is it better on the dry side? Do you love the

As you may or may not have noticed at The Snowball Stand this week, there is a new "account" program being implemented. If you dont like to carry cash, never have enough in your wallet, or hate counting the change in your cup holder to see what size snowball you can get, this is the thing you have been waiting for. Just stop by and ask a friendly employee how you can get started with your own

For a limited time, we will be serving crushed Oreo cookies as a topping.The decision to permanently add this topping to our menu or not depends on its popularity during this trial period, so if you really, really want Oreos every time you come, make sure to get Oreos on your Ice Cream as much as possible these next few weeks!

No Matter what, no matter how cold, or how bad the wind or rain is, some people just have to have a snowball as soon as the stand opens up. If you ever wonder who those people are, it would be this group waiting outside in the cold at around 10:30. You gotta love that spirit, and so there ended up being more than one "free first snowball" this year. The very first person however, was Brooks

Ice Cream, Snowballs and everything!

The following letter has been posted in front of the Stand concerning the price increase this year:To our valued customers:As you may have already noticed, we raised our prices this year. Know that we hate this as much as you do, but we had no choice.For the past 2 seasons, our suppliers have steadily raised their prices across the board-- as much as 20% for some snowball essentials, like

Although it happens to be April Fools on Wednesday, the opening of the Snowball Stand is no joking matter. Here at the Stand we have been working hard recently to make sure everything is ready.We have been cleaning inside and out, top to bottom, tuning machines, restocking our flavors, toppings, cups and spoons, and making little renovations to the Stand here and there.At 11:00 a.m. on

All this beautiful white snow just makes you want to squirt some chocolate syrup on it, doesn't it?Maybe thats pushing it, but it seems hard to believe that spring is less than a month away, and the Stand will be open not long after spring begins!

This little spell of warm weather has sparked the question in some of us... "when does the snowball stand open up again?"The approximate time of re-opening this year is somewhere around April fifteenth. When the exact date is announced, the blog is the first place the news will go, so you might want to take a second to subscribe to the blog now.Also, because some of our "senior" employees headed

Snowballs are a wonderful treat anytime, but there is something special about a snowball while the weather is warm, the sun is shining, and you are out with family or friends just to relax. Now that the weather is getting warm (not just a day here and there), the only thing you need to wonder about is, "who 's gonna pay this time?"
