Edmonton CTV News recent aired a news item about 16-year-old Harding Garratt from Spruce Grove. Harding is the son of Owen (former Wawota resident) and Karla Garratt. Harding started a business, The Dye Ice Cream Guy.
With a loan from his parents, he purchased a Dickie Dee's Ice Cream vehicle and sells frozen treats. He travels twice a week and posts his route on social media. What a great story of an ambitious young entrepreneur.
