Gilroy’s Polar Express mobile Ice Cream Trolley and DJ made its Grand Debut at the Memorial Day Parade. This fun little ice cream trolley drove through the parade with its owners, husband and wife team, Kelli and Dave Aita, bumping beats, waving and smiling and introducing themselves to the community. “People were dancing in the streets and waving and smiling right back at us.
