(Miami, FL.)-  The City of Miami Office of Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, Mayor’s Office of Film and Cultural Affairs and Parks and Recreation invite the community to join in the celebration of A.C.’s Icees 30th Anniversary on Saturday, April 5, 2008 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Kennedy Park, 2600 South Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida.  

A.C. was the first vendor to receive a mobile concession permit by the City of Miami.  His white truck and yellow umbrella have made his freshly made A.C. Icees stand an icon at Kennedy Park that has remained constant in Coconut Grove throughout these years.

Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Allan Cohen (A.C.) spent his vacations and free time in South Florida until 1978 when he moved to Coconut Grove and made it his home. His famous “icees” are often referred to as “constant lemonade” and good from the first slushy slurp to the last melted down drop.  He has recently received a proclamation from the City as well as several awards, including Best Things Frozen in 1985; he was published in a cooking book The Joy of Pigging Out. 

For more information, please call (305) 860-3823.
