We get quite a few school groups and busses,
especially in the spring of the year. We have ample bus parking,
seating for 48 inside and 5 large picnic tables outside for
accommodating busloads of kids. Normally, we can serve a busload
of kids in about 10 minutes, with them all ordering different
items. That way, you can stop for a quick treat and get back on
the road. Here are a few pictures spanning several years.
As part of the Physical Education program at Avon Elementary, the students in
the upper grades bike from the school to the Dairy Queen, then back to the
school. What is so special about that you say? Well, their school is
over 5 miles away! They bike along the Lake
WobegonŽ Trail from Avon to Albany. The kids, and usually about 10
parent chaperones and two teachers, all have a great time and get a little
exercise at the same time! This has become a yearly event done each
spring. Once year it was so chilly, they all wore winter coats, hats,
gloves, and they still biked here. Of course, they all wanted hot
chocolate and coffee that day!
They usually bring about 40 kids for 3 days in a row!
Wow!
Holy Family School
Hikers!
As a special treat every year, some of the
classes from Holy Family Parochial School walk to the Dairy Queen for a
treat. The school is about 4 blocks away, and they have to walk up
a large hill to get back to school. The kids, and teachers, look
forward to the trip.
Upsala School
Bussers!
We
could actually call them the Upsala School Hikers. The Upsala 3rd
graders went on a field trip to St. Johns university and hiked 3 miles
on their trails! They worked up such an appetite, they had to stop
at the DQ for a treat!
