Heads up for all you candy and old-time candy store fans! This Sat., June 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Schimpff's Confectionery will be hosting its 120 yr birthday celebration! They'll provide cake, Cokes, candy, ice cream, and giveaways. There will also be a huge bouncy for kids and several types of candies for sampling. For those looking for super savings, there will be a 12% discount on in-store purchases to celebrate 12 decades of business, and their famous Red Hots will have the original 1891 price: 2 cents/.25 lb with a min. purchase of $2.50.
Schimpff's has remained at the original location of 347 Spring Street in downtown Jeffersonville (right across the river from downtown Louisville) and is now owned by the 4th generation, Warren Schimpff and his wife, Jill. It is more than just a candy store; there's a 1950s soda fountain and lunchroom, a candy museum, and candy demo tours are given regularly.
On the same day, Jeffersonville is hosting its annual Jeffersonville Entire Family Fun Fest (Jeff Fest) from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There will be free inflatables, free pony rides, free face painting, an art show, a plant sale, and more. The Jeff Trolley will be running people between events as areas of downtown will be blocked off.
Be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! They're calling for 90 degrees with a 40% change for scattered thunderstorms.
