I’m pretty sure the Coldstone Creamery in downtown Chico is participating in a special event tonight, Sept. 25, from 5-8 p.m. The 3-ounce ice cream is free, but it’s hoped that guests will donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. (You can buy a “wall star.”) It’s the 7th Annual “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social.”

Showing Off Chico to Visitors

admin — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:28:08 +0000

Some friends from our college days came from out of town to visit for an afternoon last week. Their boys are 6 and 8. We love to show off Chico. They arrived around lunchtime, so our first stop was Burger Hut. We stuffed ourselves while our friends, who live in Vacaville, marveled at the concept of a locally owned restaurant. Then we headed downtown, where we hit Bird In Hand, Powell’s Sweet Shoppe and the used Bookstore. We were going to get floats at the Old Town Root Beer Company, but we were still full from lunch. We were going to head to One-Mile, but one of the kids got an owie so we headed home for Popsicles, which we ate on the porch. Good times, Chico.

99-cent Sundaes for Hot Fudge Sundae Day

admin — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:58:06 +0000

It really seems like this holiday should fall on a Sunday, but I’m not complaining. Show up at Ben & Jerry’s between noon and 10 p.m. Friday, July 25 and get a hot fudge sundae for 99 cents. One per customer. There’s a coupon in local papers. Apparently this is also the week you can get the Elton John flavor, Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road and support his AIDS Foundation. Then, on Tuesday, July 29, participating B&J Scoop Shops are offering Iced TeaZers for 99 cents.

$1 Scoop Night at Baskin Robbins

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:07:41 +0000

On Tuesday evenings we can often be found enjoying the weekly $1 scoops of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. I recommend the peanut butter chocolate. The deal is year round, and runs Tuesday nights from 6-10. Expect lines, but they move quickly. The Chico locations are: 668 Mangrove Ave., 241 W. East Ave. and 2009 Forest Ave. Don’t forget to sign up for the Birthday Club! Watch for Baskin-Robbins coupons in the Sunday papers. And in late April, they host 31 cent night.
