HALLOWEEN PARTY THIS FRIDAY--ONE MAN CARVING 44 JACK-O-LANTERNS!!!

Have you visited the Snowmonkey Art Gallery upstairs? Did you know that Curt's (owner of Snowmonkey's) birthday is on Halloween?
When Curt was little, he began the tradition of carving one jack-o-lantern for every year that he'd been alive. (A 9 year-old would carve 9 pumpkins, etc.) These sort of traditions often peter out as one gets older. Here's the thing about this one: it didn't.
EVENT: Join us for a Halloween Party on Friday night, 10/30, from 6-midnight, and watch Curt carve 44 Jack-o-Lanterns!!! THIS IS NOT A JOKE. There are 44 pumpkins ready to go, up there. I just saw them. Curt will be having a COSTUME CONTEST, with the winner getting a $50 GIFT CERTIFICATE. There will be Snowmonkey's famous GLOWING BLUE RADIATION PUNCH and Bluebird will be making a CUSTOM BIRTHDAY ICE CREAM FLAVOR for Curt. So, Join us for a party on Friday night and see the spectacle of 44 glowing Jack-o-Lanterns!

Three New Flavors at Bluebird!!!

Have you tried our newest yet? 

  -PUMPKIN ICE CREAM IS HERE!: everyone thinks their 

  grandma's pumpkin pie recipe is the best. We are taking  

  that idea and putting it into play this fall with our 

  pumpkin ice cream. Each batch will feature another 

  variation, as friends share their pumpkin pie recipes 

  with  us and we ice cream-ize them, batch by batch. 

  Tell us  which one you think should stick on our menu! 

  -APPLE PIE: That's right; apple pie ice cream. Chunks 

  of fresh Washington apple in a cinnamon and brown sugar  

  ice cream. Try it in a warm waffle dish, made fresh 

  before your eyes upon request. 

  -TRIPLE BERRY: allusions of pie continue with this one.

  Blueberry-Boysenberry-Raspberry.
