Hello everyone. Hope you are keeping up with all our latest news through our blogs, calendar & social media such as Twitter & Facebook. Lot's is happening & more to come.

First please note that some - hopefully most - of our Festival Fridays will expand into the party area. With more themes this year along with visiting artists, performers, crafts persons, things can get crowded - therefore the expansion. May 8 was a prime example: Tripp The Clown, Beverly with Face Painting, Terry's Dawgs (hotdogs), plus board games, cornhole, performers with  "twirly gigs" & hula hoops -- and our very special guests, Ed Bounds & his Dakota & Friends Dinosaurs!!!  What a night - & more is to come.

Speaking of which, we are ALWAYS looking for performers, artists, & IDEAS. Call or email us with all suggestions.

A special word here about Tripp The Clown. Many of you have asked about him & parties. YES, YES, YES, Tripp does special appearances & has reasonable rates. The easiest way to reach him is through a facebook link or email to:  trippburnett92@gmail.com  - or can contact him through us at:  info@paparobbs.com

We have added an Official Neighborhood Night - every Tuesday. Your neighborhood, apartment complex, etc can easily be a part. Simply call us or email us for details. Discounts are available on Tuesdays, but your neighborhood MUST be registered.

As you know Papa Robbs loves to be involved with our community & you can help. Currently we are looking for email & phone contacts with Girl & Boy Scout troops, etc for help with a scouting event. Please send us info.

That's it for now, but remember to watch our blogs, calendar & social media for updates, changes & other happening news.  See you soon.

Hello to all our friends. Some quick news about this weekend, but we also want to say welcome - at last - to WARM WEATHER. Also a big thank you to all who braved the below average temperatures & all that rain in April. We sincerely appreciate your support.

This weekend: We are attempting to kick our Festival Fridays up a notch or two as we get into our season. This Friday Ed Bounds returns with the Dakota & Friends dinosaurs!! This is always a crowd pleaser & a very special event for us - one you DO NOT WANT TO MISS! We are adding a small area where your child can actually ride a dinosaur so make you plans & join us & Ed, Dakota & all his dinosaur friends. 

Joining Dakota will be Tripp The Clown who always comes up with some new & fun acts, skits & other tricks up his sleeve. We are so proud of Tripp & lucky to have him as part of our Festival Family.  If you haven't  seen the wild & wonderful face paintings from Beverly - then you are truly missing something special. She is returning Friday so join Face Painting with Beverly. And let's not forget our good friend, Terry's Dawgs , with his great hot dogs!!

The entire event will move to the party center this Friday  where you will also find a few board games for the family, plus jump ropes, hula hoops & Bean Bag Toss (cornhole) games for both adults & for kids.

As our theme Festivals increase, about half will be in our Party Center (we need a name for our party area - any suggestions?) this year.

Let's not forget our Moms this Mothers Day. Every Mom will get a FREE small Ice Cream or Paradise Ice!  So bring all Moms & Grandmothers & the rest of the family for some yummy treats -- free for you Moms. Let's call it "Moms at Papas Day"!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again & we will see you this weekend.

Hello Again -- Welcome back to Papa Robb's Paradise Ice! We know it is Spring because the weather is always challenging to say the least. Rainy/cloudy - sunny; windy then not; hot, cold, mild temps - hard to keep up with. But - we are here no matter the weather & we appreciate all of you who visit in spite of any weather challenges . We all know better weather lies ahead so let us tell you what is on the way at Papa Robbs.

FOOD -- Several of you are already asking about food & food trucks so a word or two about our food availability. Food trucks will return but not the same as last year as some of their own ideas/plans did not work (such a different truck each day). We are working on a plan for Wednesdays & we hope to rotate some trucks on Saturdays. We are making Fridays our "party/fair/festival food day due to our own FESTIVAL FRIDAY & we are happy to say that TERRY's DAWGS will be joining our "Festival Friday Family!

But it is important for everyone to realize that food trucks are a business & they need your support in order to remain in business & keep returning to Papa Robbs. We feel that food trucks are an exciting, interesting & important part of our local economy & atmosphere. We lost a few last year & we miss them, so let's all turn out & support these hard working people (who have become our friends) & who make Papa Robbs even more fun for the family.

COMING EVENTS/CHANGES -- First please note that details & updates on all of the following can be had on our blogs, calendar, facebook, twitter & our other forms of social media so please use them all often.

Some changes include more interesting decor, some new popsicle flavors & four new ice cream flavors. We have also added a huge info board to keep you informed as to events & specials.

Festival Fridays begin April 17 (some will take place in our party area) & all of our old friends will return - plus some new ones over the season. Open Mic is moving to Tuesday nights & Greg Ragan will again be your host (some grab your instruments & join us or just come & sing along). Open Mic begins April 14 at 6:30. Lyndsay Wednesdays - DJ - will return this year also in mid to late April.

We will host a book signing (childrens' book) on April 11 plus Tripp The Clown, Jerry The Clown & his balloon twisting, Dinosaurs, Music, Dancers of all styles, a Drum Circle or two (maybe more) Face Painting & many other surprises & specials are being planned.

MOST IMPORTANT -- Our web site has some changes. Please note our Mission Statement. Our most important mission & goal is to continue serving you & your families quality products & service in a family-friendly atmosphere that is safe (& fun) for your children.   Thank You & we hope to see you soon.

We want to begin by saying a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you for your great support of our opening days. The weather was (and remains) a challenge this time of year, but in spite of some doubtful weather, old & new friends kicked off our season with a bang. A special shout out to Ed Bounds with "Dakota & Friends" for not one, but two visits for his usual great dinosaur experience - both fun & educational for children & adults alike.

Ed & Dakota have scheduled eight more visits this year (all on Festival Fridays) plus some surprise visits throughout the year. Speaking of events please note just some of what's coming up soon:

Festival Fridays will return - starting April 17. Many will be theme events, but always look for our regulars -- Tripp The Clown, Face Painting, some music, & food.
