Spirit nights, fall festivals, field days and teacher appreciation weeks all need a treat that serves a whole school quickly and leaves the grounds clean. The coach is an ice cream vendor with its own power and its own queue — hand-dipped cones, floats and dairy-free Italian ice — and it is the thing the kids talk about the next morning.
Spirit nights, fall festivals, field days and teacher appreciation weeks all land in the months the coach is in Florida. PTAs across Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, Lutz and New Tampa book it because it needs nothing from the building: its own power, its own line, and a dairy-free option on the same window.

May dates depend on when the coach tows north — ask early
Michigan summers run on the festival calendar — markets, concert series and city festivals hold most weekends — so private dates are fitted around them and are worth asking about early. School dates land on weekdays, which is exactly where the summer has room.
End-of-year field days in early June
Vacation Bible school weeks in July
Welcome-back nights and fall festivals in September
Send the date, the town and roughly how many guests. Every event is quoted for the day — the occasion, the guest count, how long the window is open and the tow set the number, not a menu board.
Can the PTA book the ice cream truck for a spirit night?
Yes. Send the date and the school; the PTA gets one invoice or purchase order, a certificate of insurance for the district, and a window that serves a class at a time.
Can I book the ice cream truck for a school event?
Yes. Spirit nights, fall festivals, field days and teacher appreciation weeks all need a treat that serves a whole school quickly and leaves the grounds clean.
Where does the coach cover?
Tampa Bay school events and Metro Detroit school events. Both seasons are quoted the same way, with the travel included in the number.
What does the coach need on site?
One pitch on the car park, the bus loop or the field edge. Its own power and no water hook-up, so nothing is asked of the building.
What does it cost to book an ice cream truck for a school event?
Every booking is quoted for the day rather than off a list — the guest count, how long the window stays open and the travel set the number. Invoice or purchase-order billing, with vendor paperwork and certificates of insurance sent before the date.
