Most Graeter's stores will give you a chunk (along with a scary fact sheet about not sticking your tongue on this stuff) to put in your cooler when you buy ice cream by the package on a hot day. Don't know whether they'd sell any in quantity, but if you only need a little, this might work ...

I've seen it for sale at Krogers, I'm pretty sure the one in Middletown carries it. They usually have a small chest freezer marked dry ice at the front of the store.

Meijers at Westport Rd & I 265 usually has it too

Nope...poor man's air conditioning. It's going to be 92 on Saturday during the contest. So what ya do is get a cooler and put a large chunk of dry ice in it and then you run an oscillating fan over the cooler. Regular ice will work in a pinch but the dry stuff works WAY better.

when i would be in mexico my aunt would have this HUGE fan and you would put a block of ice behind it, put it at the end of the hallway in her home. Her house was huge, but it cooled it off. i think it also had to do with the way the house was built. Most houses in Mexico have this wide long hallway with the rooms leading off, so i would think that helped.

Meijer stores have it in what looks like a small chest freezer, right next to the Customer Service area. I guess they have to keep an eye on it so kids don't mess with it.

I've seen it at many Kroger stores.

The dry ice at Kroger is 99 cent a pound. I think it will take A LOT of ice to do any cooling, and it may not be that inexpensive.
