So Lubbock has set a new world record...The World's Largest Snowcone! They started shaving ice for it a few days ago and the final snowcone weighed in at 25,000 pounds. The old world record was set at 17, 000 pounds, so Lubbock officially holds the new title. I heard about all of this on my way home from school the other day, so what did I do...well of course I had to go see it with my own eyes! I whipped my car around and drove straight to Bahama Bucks to see the snowcone. Here is a picture of the HUGE snowcone!
The snowcone was birthday cake flavored with icing flavored syrup on top. Yum! Bahama Bucks called the operation "Project SnoAngel." They sold 10 pound blocks of ice to shave for $10 each and all of the profits went to the childrens home in Lubbock. I think the total amount raised for the Children's Home ended up being somewhere around $12,000! So now if anyone asks what is so special about Lubbock, you can tell them about THE WORLD'S LARGEST SNOWCONE!
