The Root Beer Float Mobile is set up at the O.H. Kruse Grand Opportunities event. I actually had an orange soda float. Maybe I’ll do root beer later.
The eye catching orange truck is a completely re-built 1947 DIVCO (Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company) milk truck. On hand to make our floats is Jill Cary. Her parents started several A&W stores in the area and now her brother Craig is in the business. He is the one who did the work on this unique promotional vehicle. Jill says they take the truck out to all kinds of events even including a wedding reception. In the truck are all the tools needed to make floats including ice holders and freezers for the ice cream. Mmm, mmm.
