pring is in the air, but a local family wants to invite you to try a delicious blast of freshly-fallen snow.

Carrollton residents Chip and Kimberly Bishop, with the occasional help of their three young sons, have recently opened a Pelican’s SnoBalls franchise at 471 Highway 29N, at the intersection of Millard Farmer Industrial Boulevard.

Inspired by a Louisiana delicacy, and named for the state’s bird, Pelican’s Sno-Balls differ from traditional snow cones for two reasons: the texture of the ice, and the variety of toppings and fillings.

“The snow cones that most people are familiar with are a crunchier, packed ice, while our Sno-Balls are a New Orleans-style, fluffy shaved ice.

Imagine the consistency of

fresh-fallen snow,” owner Chip Bishop said. “Also, unlike snow cones, where the syrup doesn’t fully penetrate the ice, SnoBalls can be flavored with syrup, filled with soft-serve ice cream, or topped with a creamy sauce, which comes in a variety of flavors and reminds me a bit of melted ice cream. It’s very reminiscent of the ‘snow cream’ we used to make when I was little.”

Pelican’s serves up over 100 different flavor combinations, all made with natural cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, making the sweet treat naturally gluten-free. They also offer flavors that are sugar-free, dye-free, and nutfree-- a perfect indulgence for those with special dietary needs. They even offer a ‘pup-cup’, which is a small portion of shaved ice, topped with a dog treat, for your favorite four-legged friend.

When the couple opened their initial Carrollton location in November 2019, Chip was still working as a long-distance truck driver, while Kimberly ran the shop in his absence. Fortunately, the confection quickly caught on in the college town, and Chip was able to retire

in time to oversee the grand opening of the Newnan location this February. “We believed in the product, and that people would love it, but the reality is that I was tired of missing ball games and other important events in my kids’ lives. I wanted to be home more, so we cashed out the equity in our house and here we are. It really is a family operation. Everyone plays a role.”

The desire to bring families together is evident in the outdoor seating and decor in both locations. While the Newnan store boasts a drive-through window, left intact from the original Ameris Bank location, it also offers customers the same warm lighting, cozy chair arrangements, and outdoor gaming areas as its predecessor. “We want families to be able to hang out here at night, enjoy a treat, and just spend time together. The chain’s slogan is ‘taste happy,’ and that’s really what we want to provide-- happiness.”

Pelican’s Sno-Balls is open daily from noon until 9pm, and they also offer a food truck for your special event or occasion. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/PelicansSnoballsNewnan.

Riders prepare to leave from the Welcome Community Center for the “Tour of Coweta” held last Saturday.

BY CLAY NEELY

clay@newnan.com

I

t was a weekend on wheels in Coweta County. Nearly 300 cyclists embarked on a bike ride across the county on Saturday as part of the Rotary Club’s “Tour of Coweta” event.

The ride originated at the Welcome Community Center and routes of varying lengths allowed cyclists a chance to see the county on a spectacular spring day.

Originally slated to leave from downtown Newnan, the ride was relocated to the Welcome Community Center after the tornado created the potential for unsafe riding leaving the city.

At 8 a.m. Saturday, riders left the Welcome Community Center and embarked on their ride. Participants had the option between 25, 45, 65 and 100 mile rides.

Riders had rest stop options in Grantville, Moreland, and Haralson before returning to Welcome.

After the ride, many riders made their way downtown for an afternoon of music performed by Leonard Washington on the Court Square, along with enjoying local fare from restaurants like The Mad Mexican, Redneck Gourmet, Leaf and Bean

and ACE Beer Growlers, who provided refreshments and food for the riders.

A number of business owners said they saw an uptick in business thanks to the event.

Chad Smith, owner of The Mad Mexican, estimated around 100 cyclists showed up to eat, the majority of them for the first time.

“It was an awesome day,” he said. “We’re truly blessed to be a local, family-owned downtown business.”

As of Monday, the Rotary Club reported 320 registrations for the ride, which puts the fundraiser near $39,000, according to Garnet Reynolds, president of the Newnan Rotary Club.

“This first-time Rotary event looks like it will turn into an annual event with our partners,” Reynolds said. “Our goal is to keep this money local and put (it) towards our service project budget which includes fireworks, scholarships, grants and other community outreach.”

BIKE ACTIVITIES FROM PAGE 4

At Browns Mill, 206 mountain bikers and 54 runners took to the trails for the Go Nuts Squirrel Hunter event held Saturday and Sunday.

Economic Impact According to Go Nuts owner David Moore, the majority of riders in Sunday’s race arrived a day early to preview the trail, so local hotels and restaurants may have seen increased numbers for the weekend.

In a projected report from the Georgia Department of Economic Development, a total of $174,713 in local business sales was attributed to participants in the Squirrel Hunter Trail Run and Mountain Bike Race.

Data shows the race attracted 144 overnight attendees and approximately 576 day attendees.

A total of $92,688 was seen from the local lodging, transportation, retail, food and beverage sectors.

For the Tour of Coweta, a total of

$110,957 was reported from local business sales, while approximately $58,992 was seen from the local lodging, transportation, retail, food and beverage sectors.

The race attracted 60 overnight attendees and approximately 540 attendees, according to the report.

Food and beverage industries benefited the most from the weekend activities, reporting $48,886 in sales from both events, followed by $39,479 in retail and $30,630 in lodging.

Rotary member and Bike Coweta founder Chris Doane said the economic impact Century Rides and Mountain Bike races have on communities is well documented.

“Local businesses benefit from events organized around outdoor recreation,” he said. “Simply put, outdoor recreation is one of the largest industries in the state of Georgia. The city of Newnan and Coweta County should be commended for their investment in amenities that promote passive recreation. This past weekend demonstrates that modest investments have significant benefits.”

Pet of the Week My name is:

My name is:

Fawn

F

awn is a friendly Chihuahua mix who has been at the Coweta A nima l Ser v ices shelter since April 10. She’s approximately nine months old, and was picked up as a stray from Martin Luther King Drive. Fawn was wearing a blue-andpurple harness when she was found. Fawn still has a lot of puppy in her, said shelter workers. She loves to play with people and with other dogs. She’s happily played with multiple dogs in the play yard – big dogs and little dogs, shelter workers said. Fawn’s only issue is “cherry eye” in both eyes. Cherry eye is a prolapsed gland in the third eyelid. It won’t cause blindness and doesn’t have an effect on vision, but can be irritating. However, it is easily repaired, said shelter workers.
