Friday, Man
Ice cream festival set to begii ^
in Brenham this weekend
BY KELLY PREISER
The Battalion
What better way to kiek off the sum
mer than fim with ice cream?
To celebrate the summer treat, the
city of Brenham— home of Blue Bell
Ice Cream — will hold the first Bren
ham Ice Cream Festival, sponsored by
Blue Bell.
The festival will begin its festivities
May 6, rain or shine, at 10 a.m. around
the courthouse square in downtown
Brenham. The festival’s theme will be
an 1890s ice cream social.
“It’s the kind of theme that has its
own feel, like ‘The Bicycle Built for
Two.’ Ice cream and that time period
just seem to go together,” said Phil Kel
ley, husband of the festival’s chairper
son Suzie Kelley.
He said this year just seemed like the
perfect time to have the first festival.
which is planned to be an annual event.
“It was kind of a natural thing; this is
the home of Blue Bell lee Cream. We
just finished the renovation of the down
town area, the timing was just right.”
There will be many activities oc
curring during the eight-hour festival.
A “Little Mr. and Mrs. Scoop” pageant
will be held for 2-to 4-year-olds.
“They’ll say their favorite ice
cream, and will be judged mostly on
personality. It’s a nice family thing to
do. Plus all the little kids will receive
prizes and gifts throughout the day,”
Kelley said. “There will also be sever
al musical groups performing through
out the day, some national award win
ners,” he said.
Kelley said the festival’s location
should make it easy to navigate through
the grounds.
“Everything will be centered around
the courthouse and there will be at least
four ice cream booths set up alt
intersections, and arts andci
good food,” Kelley said.
1 le said in there will be other:
petitions and entertainment in adi
to the pageant.
“There will also be fun contend
all ages throughout the day fori:
like [an] ice cream walks,
like a cake walk, and ide cream
contests.There will be neat
look at, and a barber shop quartet
Kelley said A&M students
benefit by making the trip to Bre
for the festival.

People in the news
Goldberg biography
will not be banned
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A 1997 bi
ography on Whoopi Goldberg is raising
some eyebrows in Milwaukee.
One girl’s parents said the book by
James Robert Parish should be banned
from her high school library because it
contains vulgar language.
The school board in the suburban
Muskego-Norway School District
scheduled a hearing May 22 on the
complaint from Richard and Beth Ka
ma. A committee refused two weeks ago
to remove the book, acknowledging
“some shocking language” but noting
Goldberg’s charity work and strong
anti-drug message
The book, “Whoopi Goldberg: Her
Journey from Poverty to Mega-Star-
dom,” is an unauthorized biography,
said the actress-comedian’s publicist.
Brad Caparelli. “We certainly had noth
ing to do with it,” he said.

the young crowd and a little too immature for the old crowd.
This film should be worthwhile, but it is uncertain how
audiences will take to it.
Clint Eastwood returns to the big screen with an all-star
cast including Donald Sutherland, James Garner and Tom
my Lee Jones for the adventure Hick Space Cowboys.
The movie is about a bunch of over-the-hill astronauts go
ing back in to space for one last mission.
It was originally pitched to Eastwood a couple of years
ago but he passed on it, thinking the premise was improba
ble — until he read about John Glenn going back in to space.
Within weeks of that event, Eastwood and Warner Broth
ers had greenlighted the project, and it is sure to catch the
older crowd’s money this summer with its mature cast.
