We just wanted to let everyone know that this Saturday (May 5) from 8 am to 2 pm Turkey Hill will be holding its annual Country Classic in the lawn area adjacent to the Central Manor Church of God (387 Penn Street, Manor Township in Lancaster). More info about the Country Classic can be found here.
If you’re in the area, you should definitely stop by. For those who aren’t familiar with the Country Classic, it features all sorts of running and biking races for kids and adults but it also features a variety of games and free food, drinks and ice cream. Donations are accepted and all proceeds go to the Lancaster Farmland Trust, an organization that works to preserve farmland in Lancaster County.
The Giant Cow will be there and our annual Baby Derby will take place at 10:30 am. Trust us when we say you’ve probably never seen babies crawl this fast—unless you were at last year’s event (at right is a shot of that photo finish race).
According to Weather.com, the weather is supposed to be perfect (68 degrees and sunny). Sounds like a good day for some free ice cream and cow races to us!

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
You had me at “free ice cream” (with a donation, of course)…count us in.
WOW…see ya Saturday
We’ll see you both there! Along with several hundred (thousand?) other people, of course.
It’s fun to think that regular Ice Cream Journal readers (like T Hill Guru) will be there. We may walk right past each other and not even know it. Although with a name like T Hill Guru, we suspect we might find you hanging out by the Turkey Hill tent, sampling ice cream and iced tea. Again, along with several hundred other people.
During the summer we enjoy iced coffee. This is made with regular brewed coffee and then made extra delicious with Turkey Hill checkered vanilla and chocolate ice cream. We have introduced several of our neighbors to this treat.
