We make our own Ice Cream on site at TATES and place Free Ice Cream Tokens in the parks and downtown daily for all to find and redeem. Stop by for our summer Hula Hoop Contests and our daily Craft & Scoops. All of November and December TATES turns into a Gingerbread Shop and offers Gingerbread House Craft & Scoops and Colored Hot Chocolate Ice Cream Floats! YUM!
