I think this is a lovely tribute from a universally loved business in honor of a universally loved human being.

Each pudding serving is 5 oz for a total of 20oz of pudding, which is a hefty amount, so you could possibly share a pass, but no one is expecting you to. These can and have sold out prior to the event, so if you know you want to go, I&#8217;d hop on that.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond maple pudding portions, the festival has vendors, live music, and absolutely fantastic small-town vibes. I really love it and look forward to it every year.<\/p>\n<p>Cool And Sweet: Lubbock&#8217;s Favorite Spots For Shaved Ice <\/p>\n<p>Looking for an ice-cold sweet treat?
