Taste of Summer 2020 is rescheduled for 1-3 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 22, and is re-imagined. The ice cream festival was originally scheduled to take place July 25 and feature a variety of activities for the entire family. However, carefully considering the rising number of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, the decision was made to creatively restructure the event.
The Broken Arrow Chamber, Blue Bell Ice Cream and Oneta Power are partnering with Broken Arrow Police and Fire departments to give back to the community and spread positivity. Four department locations will host a drive-thru and distribute free ice cream (limited quantity) and goodie bags filled with fun surprises for kids.
Price of admission is solely appreciation for our police and fire. Car decorations and signs showing support are highly encouraged.
The locations are :
- Broken Arrow Fire Station 2: 2300 W. Norfolk Dr.
- Off Aspen (145th East Avenue) near the Creek Turnpike
- Broken Arrow Fire Station 4: 6201 E. Kenosha St.
- Off Kenosha (71st) Street, west of Oneta Road (241st East Avenue)
- Broken Arrow Fire Station 6: 3151 N. 9th St.
- Adjacent to Nienhuis Park
- Central Park Community Center: 1500 S. Main St.
- Main between Houston (81st) and Washington (91st)
To ensure a safe and socially distanced event, participants will be required to remain in their vehicles while volunteers and staff hand out their treats.
