A COUNTRY CLASSIC FOR THE AGES!

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

The 9th Annual Turkey Hill Country Classic was held this past Saturday. The weather was overcast, but it ended up being a wonderful day for the runners and bike riders (over 550 athletes competed!). There were games, rides, face painting, and some fun running events for kids of all ages. Of course, there were also free Hatfield hot dogs, Herr’s potato chips, and Turkey Hill ice cream and drinks.

The Pennsylvania Dairy Princesses were also there to help scoop samples of Turkey Hill’s All Natural Philly Style line of ice cream (below is a photo of one Princess in action). All proceeds from the event benefited the Lancaster Farmland Trust as well as a portion of the sales from our All Natural Philly Style ice cream. Congratulations are due to all of our competitors! Feel free to check out the Country Classic portion of our website for results of all the day’s races. And if you weren’t there, hopefully we’ll see you next year on May 2nd, 2009!

My father, being born in Lancaster, always took us back into the area when we were young and I, too, continue this tradition by taking my children there as there are so many sites to see and places to visit!

I would love to schedule a visit to Turkey Hill one time. I think it would be fun to eat ice cream right on sight of where it is orginally made, What a real treat that would be to me.
