“We’ve been serving the community here in Augusta and now we serve Italian ice and we’re doing fresh snow cones and we’re doing a lot of the other character pre-pack ice creams”
The festival continues Saturday.
And with it being National Hispanic Heritage month the festival gives people the opportunity to learn.
“I’m thankful for everybody who have been supporting us for all these years and I’m so happy with this town I’m not from here but I’ve been here 13 years already and I’m so grateful to be here with people”
