One of the participants in kicking off this event is Anthony Fellows, owner of HipPOPs and BabyPOPs, a truck offering delicious handcrafted artisan dessert treats including gelato, sorbet and frozen yogurt!

At the core of HipPOPs are natural, gluten-free, kosher frozen POPs on a stick that are made with love from small, hand-crafted batches at the company’s micro-creamery in Dania Beach, Florida. Three varieties of high-quality signature Belgian chocolate dips and several crushed-nut “Poppings” combine for a gourmet treat that looks as popalicious as it tastes – with only a fraction of ice cream’s fat content.
