It’s an event that has become as synonymous as Summer heat in Savannah. Our friends are celebrating another trip around the sun with a huge birthday bash. Their 99th. Of course, you are absolutely invited to join in on the fun.
As has become tradition, the price of ice cream will match their age. Leopold’s will offer single scoops of ice cream for 99 cents.
New this year, Chatham Emergency Services will bring an ambulance and a ladder truck for the kids to explore. At 2:30, all kids are invited to join us for our largest I Pledge for Ice Cream event ever as we hang a huge American Flag from the 100-foot ladder truck. All participating kids will receive a free cup of ice cream! Also new to the 2018 event is the Doggie Oasis provided by Oliver Bentleys. Bring your pup to cool down with a free Doggie Sundae.
This year’s DIRTT Kids’ Zone will feature free crafts, games and face painting by Glitterboxx Studios. The Live Oak Public Libraries will be on hand with great activities and Oatland Island will be bringing some of their animals to visit. A percentage of all t-shirt sales at the party will go towards helping Oatland Island as they recover from the EF1 tornado that touched down on July 27th.
If you’ve never attended, it’s a block party. Broughton Street will be blocked off from Abercorn to Lincoln Street. Multiple ice cream stands will be set up. Multiple opportunities to Eat It and Like It.
