Parties are a great way to celebrate birthdays, reunions, get-togethers and holidays or special events. These days there are a lot of features you can add to a party to make it more festive and enjoyable for your guests. One of these is by adding concession stands like an ice cream cart or snow cone machine or a dessert buffet station so your guests can eat something while watching games and programs or while mingling around with fellow guests.

You can even invest in a snow cone machine for your family! Both young and old will surely enjoy a refreshing snow cone every now and then, at an amazingly cheap price too!

There are a lot of machines available for purchase online. All you need to do is visit the site and browse around. Ask for feedback too about great models – those which are easy to clean, low maintenance, have repair parts available and are covered by warranty. There are also machines that come with a removable tray and have an internal light or a door. Good snow cone machines usually have a 1/3 HP motor and can produce up to 500 lbs of shaved ice in one hour.

When purchasing a snow cone machine, it is advisable to decide first if it’s going to be for personal or business use. Machines usually differ in size and amount of shaved ice produced so that is a deciding factor.

Now that you have decided on a snow cone machine, the next step would be to purchase the supplies to be able to produce those yummy snow cones.
