SCRANTON, Pa. These days, it s a common sight to see tents set up outside Jessee s Place Ice Cream off of Barring Avenue in Scranton.
Owner Tara Kojsza holds a benefit for someone in need every month. And today this is for Nathan the superhero, and he s 8-years-old, he just turned 8 last Friday, he has stage 3 kidney cancer. I work with his father at UPS, so this one s a little closer. I just wanted to do something really nice, said Kojsza.
Tara Kojsza noticed the three men lurking by her taco stand during Peach Fest at Montage Mountain.
She had just finished her third day and night of selling tacos, street corn, nachos and other food items at TTâs Giant Taco Stand and made her way back to her camping tent before her last day of vending at the July 1-4 festival. She had her earnings, about $20,000, with her for safe keeping.
A man she had seen following her all weekend grabbed the money from her tent around 1 a.m. on the Fourth of July, said Kojsza, a Scranton business owner who also operates Jesseeâs Place Ice Cream on Bartel Street.
