Summer Celebration Ice Cream Event

On Saturday July 17, the Smith Proulx Team visited 5 West Toronto parks in the Bloor West Village, Junction, High Park and Swansea neighbourhoods, along with the popular Bow Tie Ice Cream Truck, offering free ice cream to all.

We started at Vine Park at 12:00 noon, then proceeded to Lithuania Park, Ravina Park, Beresford Park,  and finally to Rennie Park, staying at each park for about 45 minutes.

Four hundred visitors braved the elements and enjoyed chocolate, vanilla and ‘twist’ ice cream as well as fruit flavoured slushies – blueberry, cherry, lemon-lime, grape & orange.

The weather started out a little wet but the rain was gone by mid afternoon. We came prepared with a large collapsible canopy to keep everyone dry while they lined up at each park.

Of course, the iconic Birthday Panda made a special guest appearance at each truck stop, much to the delight of large numbers of kids who had met the Panda before. Many cell phone photos were taken by proud parents.

The event was a great success! Many thanks to all those who attended, and a special thanks to Ake, the friendly Bow Tie Ice Cream Truck driver – it’s the best ice cream in the City!
