Description

It might be December, but in St. Louis it’s always a good time for ice cream or a soda! Join Johnny Rabbitt for the world premiere of his forthcoming book, a nostalgic review of St. Louis’ great soda and ice cream companies. This lecture will share behind the scenes stories about some of your favorite places of yesterday and today. He’ll spotlight sodas from Cheer-Up, to Dr. Schnee and from Vess, to the popularization of Dr. Pepper at the World’s Fair. You’ll also reminisce about ice cream shops, lunch counters and soda fountains, plus the creation of the ice cream cone at the 1904 Wold’s Fair. It’ll be a sweet time!
