Name of business: Heaven Snow Type of business: Shaved ice stand Location: 811 Hawkeye Ave. (Hawkeye Neighborhood Center) Hours: Sunday-Monday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the summer; Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday-Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. once school starts back up Contact information: 209-872-8881 Specialty: Unique shaved ice flavors History of business: Since Turlocker Violet Irasava and her husband, Hector, expanded their business endeavor Heaven Snow into town from Ceres five years ago, the provider of refreshing, flavorful shaved ice has become a family favorite around town. The pink and white stand has served as a gathering place where the community can go to beat the heat, and now calls the Hawkeye Neighborhood Center home. “We used to not open on time because we had to keep switching locations,” said Irasava, who added that at their previous location on Geer Road, the stand often attracted too many cars for the parking lot to accommodate.
