One, two, three, two, one. Yay! Yay! There you go. All right. Hi, I'm David Ferris, and I'm president of the Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce. And we're here at the kickoff of s One of the coolest venues in Rocky Mount and certainly downtown Rocky Mount. And that's their all new scoops ice cream. And who in the world doesn't love ice cream? Especially as we enter in the s And Leslie, I think y'all picked out a great location. You're right next door to 8,000 kids on the weekend. So, I know you're going to promote it within the event center. And you're going to, I think, really become one of our main assets in this area because we all love ice cream. Yeah. And thank you so much. We have a special presentation from the city of Rocky Mount to commemorate this day. And Mayor Pro Tem Tom Harris and Councilman Andre Knight and Councilman Walker are here to help. I'll step out of the way and. On behalf of the mayor, Sandy Robertson, the city of Rocky Mount would love to give this proclamation to the scoops on Main Street. And let me read the proclamation. City of Rocky Mount, North Carolina presents the scoops on Main Street on the occasion of ribbon cutting with the Sear Best wishes. And witness thereof I have unto set my hand in seal to be a fix the seal of the city of Rocky Mount this 15th day of May 2025. I, Sondra Robertson, Jr. Thank you so much. And the city really appreciate this investment. Thank you. Thank you. Say that one again. Were the councilman and I were part of a group earlier today next door at the event center with some scholarship recipients from the Morehead Cain scholar in Chapel Hill. And they were making their presentation and observation and recommendations about downtown. And I think this is a perfect example of some of the suggestions they were coming with. Give a reason to come down here by Godly we got it. But I'd All right, you start. Go ahead. So Darius comes home every night with a different idea. But about a year ago, we talked about doing mobile, going mobile with an ice cream truck. But when we heard about this business coming available, then we decided what better way than to have a staple in the community. Well, that I'm glad you came home that night with that idea. And I'm glad you signed off on that. Also, this family, the Hudgens family has had a really eventful month. Let's tell us tell the folks about what else is going on in the family. So those of you that don't know our youngest daughter, Tia Hudgens Taylor just became a district court judge here. So she represents Naz Edgecombe in Wilson. So we're just so proud of her. And she couldn't be here this morning because she's on the bench doing her duties serving her community. Now, the other day when we came down to 209 North East Main Street, guess who was serving ice cream in here? Your honor. So no, this is a great place. It's family owned, it's family operated, and it's for our community family and our guests. And we wish you the most success. Thank you. You can possibly have them. Thank you for investing in Rocky Mount and in downtown Rocky Mount. And thank you all for being with us. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you.
