R.I.P. Lemonade Guy

It's a sad day in Pittsburgh as the Lemonade/Cotton Candy guy from PNC Park has passed.

Here's video of an artiste at work:


I saw him as recently as the last game I was at on Easter Sunday.

  1. Just read about this and was going to post-it, you beat me to it. One thing I love about going to sporting events is that the same vendors work every game no matter what sport it is, Pirates, Steelers, Pitt, and Penguins.

  4. Yeah he's still around. I think his name is TC. Also, the middle age Matrix dancer is still vending. They die before they give up those jobs
