The thump thump of a bass line and the muffle of amplified lyrics pounding through the trees late this morning alerted us that something was going on in Piedmont Park. A little research revealed that it was the annual Atlanta Ice Cream Festival, "Sweet and Healthy Fun for Everyone!"
"Ice cream? Healthy?!" you may ask, and the answer is yes-- for this event, Atlanta combines ice cream and wellness. In addition to "everyone's favorite dessert," there were other non-food vendors, music, food prep demos, line dancing, and loads of other fitness and wellness activities, too.
Unfortunately, our schedule for the day did not allow us to attend the festival, but as contradictory as their concept may seem, the message that everything can be enjoyed in moderation and balance made perfect sense to me. "Satisfy your sweet tooth and learn more about maintaining a well-balanced lifestyle, all in one place!"
Now that's a slogan I can get behind!
