LOUDON (WATE) - Besides the daffodils and dogwoods, it's another sign spring is here in East Tennessee.  Tic-Toc Ice Cream Parlor in downtown Loudon opened Friday for the season.    

The parlor makes all of it's own ice cream.  Vanilla is usually the best seller, but the cheesecake flavor is also popular.    

Some Tic-Toc fans are willing to travel far for one of the ice cream shop's specialities.  Owner Mary Jones said, "A lot of people come here because they like an old fashioned ice cream soda. You can't get them other than here, so we have a lot of people who come from Knoxville because they like old fashioned ice cream soda and we do it really well."    

Tic-Toc Ice Cream Parlor is open Monday through Sunday from 12:00pm-10:00pm.
