Gordon Christensen with Mayor RoundyOn September 10, 2008 hundreds of citizens enjoyed the City's Cool Cars and Cold Cones event which was held on Main Street. Every year the City celebrates the invention of the ice cream cone. This tradition was started by Gordon Christensen about 30 years ago. He used to give away ice cream cones at Hods Hollow Park for children in his neighborhood and he would tell them about the invention of the ice cream cone. This event is now a City-wide tradition held annually in September. Thanks Gordon for beginning this event in Kaysville.

It sounded like everyone out there had fun. Most interesting thing was hearing the clock tower chimes mix with "Elvis" singing. Oh, that clock tower. I just hope it doesn't ever malfunction again like it did last year on Thanksgiving day, first starting at 8 A.M, chiming (or rather bonging) the hour for the next 30 minutes, and later at 11 play "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", over and over, without stopping, for nearly 4 hours straight. Clock tower madness and the edge of insanity!
We are sad we missed it, but had fun last year when we came and listened to how the ice cream cone came about! I really like the layout of the city blog, by-the-way...
