Snow Cones

What better way to beat the heat than with cool, colorful snow cones? A snow cone fundraiser would work best in conjunction with another, larger event like a craft show or a art fair. You'll need wax-coated paper cones, shaved ice, and several varieties of flavored syrup. Make sure you have any permits needed for selling a food item in your city or county. If you have or can build a small kiosk, it will attract more attention, and more customers. If that's beyond your budget, a large table or two will work just fine. Have plenty of volunteers on hand—some to serve, some to take money, and some who are on standby to get more supplies, if necessary. Get a little creative with the colors and flavors you offer, aside from the usual cherry, lime, and grape. Remember to have napkins on hand for your customers. If it's an especially hot day, some people may just want to buy a cone of plain ice to cool down with. Be prepared with a lower price for that. You may also want to offer bottled water to make a little extra money.
