                   RECOGNIZING BRAIN FREEZE SNOWBALLS

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, Louisianians are constantly looking 
for a way to cool off from the summer heat, and one of the most popular 
ways to do so is by enjoying an ice-cold snowball. This week, I would 
like to recognize Brain Freeze Snowballs of Broussard, LA, as the Small 
Business of the Week.
  A stay-at-home mom, Kristi Broussard found herself with a lot of 
extra time once her daughter was old enough to go to school. With the 
neighborhood snowball stand recently vacated, Kristi and her husband, 
Colby, decided to buy the stand in 2014 and share their family's 50-
year-old snowball recipes with the local community, including the 
popular Cheesecake Stuffed Snowball. Kristi and Colby bought a bright 
orange trailer and parked it on West Main Street and, since its 
opening, has attracted a loyal clientele that grows each year.
  Today Brain Freeze Snowballs is in the process of expanding to a new 
portable building, which will allow customers to try their snowballs 
without waiting in line on the side of a major road. The new building 
will complement the original bright orange trailer that is still used 
for local fairs and festivals.
  Congratulations again to Brain Freeze Snowballs for being selected as 
Small Business of the Week, and I look forward to your continued growth 
and success.
