The Daily Scoop is now running in changeover mode – we are preparing to go From Scoops To Soups. At present we maintain ice cream until the end of May, although we are limiting the number of flavours, and we have introduced initially two flavours of soups per day. The soups are available during lunch time only, are prepared off-site by a chef who will later during the winter season introduce new flavours and other types of comfort foods.
Flavours we have started with are:
- Sweet Potato
- Lamb Shank
- Minestrone
- Pumpkin
Soups is served with a generous slice of delicious bread supplied by a local bakery.

We will be holding the Earth Hour again on Saturday at The Daily Scoop as we did last year. In fact to make us different we will start earlier at 8PM so we can hold it for an hour as we close at 9PM. It will also be our last long night, as after the end of March our closing time is 6PM every day.

Jimeoin opening The Portas
Oh, yes – who could forget, and it is not St Patrick..!! The coming of famous Irish festival reminded me of the time when Jimeoin visited Wodonga to open the Porta sculpture. He is Irish – so why was I the one dressed in green? Well, anyway, Jimeoin has discovered the sole purpose of these sculptures was for Wodonga to show Albury who’s really got balls (on their side of the Border)… So this St Patrick’s Day let us drink to that !!!

At The Daily Scoop we have started the new theme for the month of March in anticipation of the event we’ve been all waiting for – The Wodonga Carnivale – this year the theme is Bizarre! Children from schools around Wodonga are preparing great exhibition of art in the High Grove park under the Water Tower, which you can already see as part of Todos Arte project run by Art Space and Wodonga City Council.
One of the entertainers will be Jugularity
There will be heaps of entertainment, starting with the Lounging into Carnivale with performance by
Nicky Bomba who has already staged a gig at Lounging last year. Street parade will start on Saturday 7 March at 4PM, and festivities will continue late into the night with many well known entertainers within the Wodonga CBD. The Daily Scoop is proud to have right outside their door the stage of “Strange on Stanley” with performers including
Jugularity,
Psycho Zydeco and JUST! Come along and have some fun
There will of course be “Carnivale Recovery” on the following morning with many local food outlets helping you with great coffee during the whole day. If you decide to hang around for the rest of the long weekend, there will be plenty to do still on Monday 9 March 2009!

We really have been hit with a hot Australian weather this summer… People are often commenting how good that must be for an ice cream business. Well – not all that much! Spare athought for this poor ice cream van:
Too hot for ice cream

Thank you to all who remembered that they first found their way to our delicious ice cream last year… and asking us when exactly did we open! Well – our 1st birthday is approaching fast. Keep your eyes open for the announcement of the BIG DAY and some special surprises!

After we closed due to bad weather on Saturday some customers have asked us “Why do we close on rainy days?” The simple answer is “we cannot sell enough ice cream…”
We had closed last Saturday and left a sign on the door which read “Closed due to bad weather.” We assess the weather every morning – being especialy cautious if it looks cold and overcast. Rainy, windy and cold days are not good for our sales, people like to walk around with a cone of delicious ice cream when it’s nice and sunny. If we believe the weather will be fine for at least good part of the day we make a batch of ice cream, sometimes we reduce the size and number of flavours. We open at 11Am every day, and by that time it is a bit clearer what the weather is going to be like. However, if the wind or rain picks up, and it remains cold we close the shop for the day. Our estimate of how much is going to be sold is sometimes accurate, sometimes we are left with a lot of unsold ice cream

Here we are with our glorious setup! This was the first time we were serving our ice cream away from the shop!
The Daily Scoop marquee
And the pirate theme of this year’s fair suited us really well!
