Ron Jimenez recognized the need for more options that catered to those following vegan and vegetarian diets. For over two years, this Mediterranean-inspired food truck has been a promoter of healthy eating. Tahini is committed to using fresh ingredients in its vegetarian-friendly dishes, which are designed to delight the taste buds and nourish the soul with the enticing aroma of sizzling spices and savory sauces. Tahini is open for business from 11:00 a.m., making it the perfect spot for a healthy lunch or a midday pick-me-up.
Slushy Igloo is a newcomer to the food truck scene, but it’s already making waves with its innovative take on the classic slushie. Born out of a conversation at Camp Kulaqua last year, where kids eagerly lined up for icy treats, Slushy Igloo brings a refreshing twist to church events and community gatherings alike. Housed in a converted bookmobile trailer, this walk-in slushie food truck offers more
than eight different flavors, with Blue Raspberry and Piña Colada being the most popular choices. While relatively new, Ryan Hodgins and David Gentry have big plans for the future, including a spot at the 2024 International Pathfinder Camporee in Gillette, Wyoming. So, whether you’re craving a burst of fruity flavor or a frosty pick-me-up, be sure to stop by Slushy Igloo and enjoy a refreshing slushie, available from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and on Fridays until 7:30 p.m.
