A tasty weekend in Kalamazoo is in the spotlight of this week’s WCSG’s Travelin’ Together.

The 5th annual Ice Cream Challenge is happening this weekend at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. The event on Saturday features almost 10 different flavors, all of which are kicked up a notch with frozen nitrogen. You can vote on which is your favorite flavor after watching teams mix up a batch right before your eyes! The event is free with admission to the Air Zoo.

Once inside, you can check out the exhibits that include teams restoring vintage aircraft, the contribution of women to air and space exploration, and even jump into one of the full motion flight simulators. Information on admission and times are available .HERE.
