+ Snowball Express hits Flagler
Meet The Big Easy Café’s newest addition. It’s a completely battery operated, frozen snowball vehicle, and Walt and Nicole Mazie, the café’s owners, have big plans for it.
They’re bringing it to community events, including fundraisers and festivals, and they also plan to take it beachside to provide treats to surfers, swimmers and sunbathers.
The Snowball Express was modified from a Chrysler Global Electric Motorcar, which is a street-legal electric car that has a 40-mile range on a full charge and reaches speeds up to 25 mph. The GEM vehicles were also used in the 2010 film, “The Green Lantern.”
The Big Easy Café is at 213 S. Second St., in Flagler Beach. Call 439-3944.

The shop will now feature live music four times per week and will host a featured artist monthly in its gallery. The first featured artist is Palm Coast resident Sandra Pierce.
