Owners Of Earnest Ice Cream Set To Give A “Hot Talk” On October 29th

8024482461_00f55ec3ff_b

Main Street’s Hot Art Wet City Gallery is holding a Hot Talk next week. What’s that, you ask? It’s when a cool as heck Vancouverite (in this case, two of them) takes the floor at the gallery to talk about what they’re passionate about. Ben and Erica from Earnest Ice Cream will be talking about adventures in the ice cream trade and the fun they’ve had in growing their business from scooping from a trike to a storefront with nine employees in just over a year. They’ll also be talking about how small business has been a platform for change for them both. We think Ben and Erica are wicked awesome and bet that they’ll have more than a few interesting things to say. All the details (plus shots of their new store on Fraser) below…

    Tuesday, October 29 | 7-8pm | Hot Art Wet City (2206 Main @ 6th) | DETAILS
