Let's begin with two changes. 1. -- The musical DJ Tribute event to the Avett Brothers was rained out last week & will take place this Wednesday, Sept. 10. Everything starts at 6:30 and there will be some exciting door prizes. Wear you Avett Brothers shirt & receive a 15% discount. Check out our Facebook for all up to date info. 2. --  The Motorsports Themed Festival Friday has been dropped due to the drag races & other conflicts. BUT - the Fire Department & Truck is returning and the Bounce House from Blue Baboons - all part of Festival Friday, this Fri., Sept. 12.

Always remember our web site & our blogs, newsletters, and events schedule calendar. You can access on your mobile devices also, plus our Facebook postings. Things can change quickly but we try to keep up and keep you informed. This time of year changes happen more often due to community & school functions, fall festivals, etc, so stay tuned to all our social means of communication.

Speaking of changes, please note that our Food Truck schedule has changed. Our weekday appearances are over for the summer except for Wednesdays and our weekends will continue through September & perhaps into Oct., depending on weather. Again, events calendar & Facebook will keep you informed.

That's all for now -- we hope to see you soon at Papa Robb's Paradise Ice.

Hello again. Some challenging times at Papa Robbs. Four of our best left for college - three returned to East Carolina & one off to UNC Chapel Hill. We miss them already & wish them the best for their school year.

Papa Robb had knee surgery couple of months ago & now Miss Kathy had same last Friday! She is doing fine, but REALLY missed as she is co-owner & the General Manager. It is "all hands on deck" time: Lyndsay, Saundra & Robin are stepping up big time with Jill & Chelsea now in training.

The news this week is MUSIC & DANCE --- tonight is DJ music. This Sunday, Aug. 31, the Christian Rock band, JEREMIAH's  PROMISE will perform from around 6:30 - 8:30 & will be in our party area, so join us & them for some great music.

Next Wednesday, Lyndsay Wednesday Music Night will honor local band, THE AVETT BROTHERS with a Tribute Night. DJ Lyndsay will be playing all of your favorites by this local group that makes us all proud. Their will be a few door prizes, so tell all your friends , fans, to come out for a special night - Wednesday, Sept. 3.

On Friday night, Sept 5, it is DANCE FEVER 2. The kids from the Next Step Dance Studio will perform, plus some Hula Hoop Dancing, plus ZUMBA DANCING!!! What a night that will be and it is all past of FESTIVAL FRIDAY.

Also, don't forget that every Saturday is Open Mic night with Greg so come out & join us for lots of dancing & musical entertainment & fun, fun, fun.

Let's all start thinking PINK. This Saturday, Aug. 23, from 5:00 - 8:00 pm, the TelWare Team is hosting a fund raiser at Papa Robb's, raising money for the Susan B. Komen Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness. If you simply wear an article of clothing the color of PINK & mention Breast Cancer , 15% of your purchase will support this very good cause (all between 5-8 pm).

Speaking of the Susan B. Komen Walk, our new line of popsicles, produced by the Healthy & Happy Company, is a big supporter also. So remember that PINK IS MORE THAN JUST A COLOR, which is also the name of this Saturday's fund raiser.

Some Thank You's are in order: Ed  Bounds & his Dinosaurs were a huge hit & are actually returning this Fri. night, Aug. 22 & we want to thank him for his energy and devotion to children. To all of our Pirate friends, especially Barnacle Bill & Scarlett Deville. What a wonderful, special & exciting night it was with Bill, "shotglass" Sam and all of their special friends on Pirate Bedlam Night. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Ditto for Wendy & the Queens of D'Nile. What an enjoyable night of Belly Dancing it was. Everyone, especially the families, had a wonderful time and we can't wait to have them return. The young dancers of Motion Dance Studio seemed to have as much fun dancing as we did watching.

Our goal -- slowly, but surely - is to turn Fridays into a real street performers  & entertainment festival. So a very special THANK YOU to our ringleader himself, Tripp The Clown. Welcome back Tripp - you were missed.

Let's close with some news of late. Congrats to recent winner  Amberlee Hutchins who won a Papa Robbs Tee Shirt! --- To all you users of mobile phones & other devices, you can now get even more info from our mobile version of our web site.--- Special, on Wednesday night, Sept. 3, our DJ Lynsanity will feature a Tribute Night to Cabarrus County's own, AVETT BROTHERS. Watch for details on our Facebook page. She will be playing the music of The Avetts & there will be door prizes.

Bye for now - let's blog on next week or so.

But -- SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO VISIT  Papa Robb & all you kids  -- coming next Thursday, August 14. He will be here around 6:30, so bring your list!

Santa also helps many others, including the Shriners & their wonderful children’s' hospitals and the Marines and the Toys For Tots. We are all getting together to help.

Papa Robb & Santa are asking all you grownups to bring a toy for a needy child. Special boxes from the Marines will be on hand & some Shriners will give you some info about their hospitals. Papa Robb hopes all of you will turn out for this great cause for the children in our area.

Special notice to all: Santa may look a little different - he is on vacation - and he might very well be wearing his "Summer Santa" clothes (he might even have his surf board with him!!!
