Sat update: Dragon trolley, Big Scoop Ice Cream Festival, Does it Work?, possible new hotel site

Whoa! Almost left the apartment without hitting Publish again. I hate it when I do that.

There’s a new dragon trolley circling Downtown. Its purpose is to promote the dragon boat races that will happen on Mud Island October 5. I saw it last night and it looks really good. It’s actually not a new trolley, but one of the old trolleys that has been wrapped.

The 19th annual Big Scoop Ice Cream Festival will happen Saturday, September 28 from 11 AM to 4 PM at AutoZone Park. Your ticket, $7 in advance or $10 at the door, lets you eat all the ice cream you want while enjoying live entertainment. Needless to say, this event is kid-friendly.

Kooky Canuck’s own Shawn Danko was on WREG Channel 3’s Does it Work? segment this week. He tested the Head Blade, a new hand-held device for shaving one’s head.

The parking lot across Union from AutoZone Park has been sold and there is talk that a hotel may be built on that space.

Whew… after typing such a long post, I think I deserve a PBR. Time to go get one. Happy Saturday and be careful out there.
