It's that time of year. Summer is hot and muggy and we all need a tasty treat to cool down. I don't think I'm alone when I say a good snow cone is more than just a treat it's a blessing on a hot summer day.    

Whether you call it a snow cone or shaved ice, did you realize that we have quite a few places in Texarkana to get one? Oh, and I discovered there is one in Wake Village and in Ashdown, too. Most importantly, what's your favorite flavor.  If you know or see of a snow cone place that we don't have on the list be sure to let us know.
