Scoop It Forward with Blue Rooster

… Some of my most cherished memories revolve around sharing treats with the people I love. So, when it came time to fulfill a lifelong dream and open a hometown business, I knew I wanted to create a place where memories like that could be made. … Since opening Blue Rooster Scoop Shoppe (1201 Arkansas Boulevard), many people have asked why we chose to specialize in ice cream and Italian ice. The simple answer is that we wanted to make people smile. But it's more than that. My wife, Joana, and I believe ice cream—especially when made with care and served with joy—is kind of magical.

Genoa Central High School 2025 Top Ten

… Grace Ashmore (Valedictorian) • My favorite high school memory is definitely the high school art show my junior year. One Saturday morning, the other AP Art students and I helped Mrs. McVay, the art teacher, display pieces we had worked so hard on all year. We bought cupcakes and went on at least two wild goose chases for ice to put in a bucket with some drinks. Less than ten people showed up, but I got to show my parents around the high school, and I will never forget my mom’s face when I showed her the portrait I had painted of her on her wedding day.
