When the summer sun is blazing and the Arkansas heat reaches its peak, there's no better way to cool down than with a delightful popsicle in hand. Today I had the pleasure of attending "Popsicles in the Park" in Jacksonville, and let me tell you, it was a refreshing treat for both the body and the soul.

Every year, the "Popsicles in the Park" event takes place at the picturesque Dupree Park, attracting families, friends, and popsicle enthusiasts from all over Jacksonville. Attendees can enjoy a variety of activities suitable for both kids and adults, including a special appearance by Emily Stonecipher, the event coordinator from Jacksonville Parks and Rec, Captain Coleman and other firefighters from the Jacksonville Fire Department, representatives from the Jacksonville Police Department Office McCamey, Donna and John from Lighthouse Charter Schools, and Cynthia from The Reform Alliance. With activities like cornhole toss and park rides, this event comes highly recommended for Jacksonville residents.
The Popsicles
The real stars of the event were the popsicles. Local vendors and artisans showcased their creativity with a wide range of flavors and unique combinations. Here are a few standout popsicles that I had the pleasure of tasting:
Berry Bliss - A burst of mixed berries, this popsicle was both tangy and sweet, offering a perfect balance of flavors.
Creamy Coconut - Rich and creamy, this coconut popsicle was a smooth, cooling delight that transported me straight to a tropical island.
Lemon Lavender - A sophisticated blend of tart lemon and fragrant lavender, this popsicle was as refreshing as it was unique.
