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!

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.

Very nice that you sponsor this!
What a great way to celebrate with Turkey Hill.
Wow! I wish I could have been there, sounds like everyone had a good time! Hot dogs, potato chips, drinks and Turkey Hill Ice Cream…what could be better!
It sounds like a fun day with a lot of activities and over 550 participants in the races, wow, what a nice turn-out. Everyone was a winner with Turkey Hill ice cream waiting for them.
Sorry I missed it, got it marked already on my calendar for next year.
with the gas prices so high , been standing home and just walking the dogs and ejoying a dish of turkey hill ice cream
Another wonderful experience in the Lancaster Area!
Would love to see lots more pictures of the events you sponsor. I wish I lived much closer. What a fantastic community service you offer to all!
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.
You sponsor some great events. It is nice to see a big company involved in their community and caring about the people who live there. Keep up the good work Turkey Hill!
Sorry to have missed it, as I was really hoping to go. Looks like the weather cooperated nicely though! I’ll have to try to make it next year!
Wow, sounds like you had a great time, what a great idea to have Turkey Hill involved in the community. Way to go TH, I’m moving to Pennsylvania!!! Cindy
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!
