MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL April 15, 2014 - Kona Ice South Minneapolis announced today it will be one of the vendors for Minneapolis Parks. The start date will be announced as we get closer to the beginning of the season. Kona Ice trucks will appear at numerous park locations including Theo Wirth (beaches), Minnehaha Park, Cedar Lake (beaches), Lake Hiawatha, Pearl (Diamond Lake), Ft. Snelling (Neiman Sports Complex/Park), Bossen Field, Stone Arch (Mill City Park) and Bryn Mawr Meadows.
“It is an honor and privilege to bring our Tropical Shaved Ice Experience to our city parks, the top rated park system in America,“ said PJ Fiske, Owner and Vice President of Fun, Kona Ice South Minneapolis. “We look forward to bringing additional joy and fun to our Kona Ice fans! Also, we will be giving back a portion of our sales to Minneapolis Parks, which will go directly to future park improvements.”
