If Haagen Dazs only sells 100 ice cream cones at $4 a pop it's $10,220 in tax revenue a year! Ok, the State gets most of it, but the county gets it share. How many drinks do you suppose are sold around the square while there is entertainment? This is seed money for the county, they will do very well on the investment.
