When we first ran into our pal Joe Dounoughe in 2016, he was test-driving his amazing new hands-on invention, a human-powered hamster wheel that could grind ice. Smart fellah that he is, he realized this wheel had the potential to do more than grind ice: it could make snow cones and change lives for the better by getting people on their feet and into adventure. We were in love!
As the inventor said, “If someone laughs at your idea, there just might be something interesting there worth exploring.”
We knew we had to bring the magic of that hands-on/ feet-on experience to our own community. We asked Joe to build us one, and soon a hamster wheel was delivered to our door. Adding our own bells and whistles and an homage to that most famous Maker, we dubbed it the Da Vinci Snow Cone machine. Since then, we have brought our amazing machine all over the country from Louisiana to Pennsylvania, Texas to Virginia.
We have had the pleasure of bringing the wheel to schools, camps, seasonal haunts, renaissance festivals, maker spaces, corporate events, art walks, festivals, farmer’s markets and more.
At 8’ tall, 4’ wide, and 8’ long, the wheel rolls in to most any level space, requires no electricity, and inspires creativity, activity, and laughter. Bring Da Vinci Snow Cone to your next event!
I can’t thank you enough! You were truly the highlight of our event. I would love to book you for our next fest in 2020 as soon as possible!
The Da Vinci Machine was an integral part of our Medieval Games celebration. All of the children enjoyed the interactive experience of making their own snow cone. The final outcome of their hard work was tasty and refreshing!
Thank you so much for that incredible Da Vinci wheel! It was such a fantastic experience for our Homecoming!
What an engaging and fun experience! Having the Da Vinci Snow Cone team out to our event was awesome. It really added to the fun and excitement for participants!
We heard wonderful comments about your unique machine from friends, families, attendees and social media. We were happy to learn that your presence made our festival great!
What a fun concept! The hamster wheel was the talk of our event- people couldn’t get enough of it. We look forward to adding Da Vinci as a unique food vendor to future events.
It was like a carnival in and of itself! My guests totally loved it. The Wheel added an element of fun and excitement to the show that was unexpected and brilliant!
Da Vinci Snow Cone was live.
