Remember drive-in movies? There used to be thousands of drive-in theaters across America, but now there are only a few hundred scattered throughout the land. It’s a shame because they’re so much fun. For many of us, they’re a reminder of simpler times, when we were younger and much more carefree.
That’s part of the reason why Turkey Hill Dairy has sponsored a giant portable drive-in movie screen which will travel around central Pennsylvania, bringing the drive-in movie experience to thousands of people this summer. The inflatable screen will be called the “Turkey Hill Screen” and stands 40 feet high! That’s a picture of it on the right. Those two little things standing at the bottom are people!
Below is a listing of locations and dates when the Turkey Hill Screen will be up-and-running (beginning at dusk every Friday and Saturday through August). Best of all, admission is FREE, but they are accepting donations. If you’re in the area, we hope you can make it.
Shank Park, Bull Frog Valley Road, Hershey: June 6, 7; July 11, 12; Aug. 8, 9.
Hershey Conewago Campground, 1590 Hershey Road, Elizabethtown: June 13, 14, 27, 28; July 25, 26; Aug. 15, 16.
Friendship Community Church, 3380 Fox Run Road, Dover: June 20, 21; Aug. 29, 30.
Meadows Park, Hanshue Road, Hershey: July 18, 19.
Ephrata Community Church, 70 Clay Road, Ephrata: Aug. 22, 23.
More information about the Turkey Hill Screen and schedule can be found on the USA Theaters website. The movie on June 6 and 7 was the animated treat, Madagascar. We’re not sure which other movies might be showing throughout the summer, but we’ll keep you posted!

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.
What a great way to enjoy a movie and Turkey Hill. Too bad you aren’t doing it in Vegas, I would be first in line!
Wow,, what nicer way to spend an evening, than at a drive-in movie with the family. Only thing that could make it nicer would be a stand selling Turkey Hill ice creams!
I remember the drive-in movies and the good times we had there. Wish you were coming to the Buffalo area because I would take my grandkids. What could be more fun than watching a movie and eating Turkey Hill ice cream on a hot summer night?
hey , let park the truck and have a big contain of turkey hill ice cream and some spoons and enjoy the moive;
Drive-In movies are the best. I saw my last drive-in movie in Staten Island, NY, it was “Night of the Living Dead.” My cousin and friends all went, crazy movie but it was fun! There was no Turkey Hill but we had Bon Bons!
Just one more reason why I wished I lived in Wrightsville near my son! You people have all the fun! I remember the drive-ins well — From dating, and then taking my kids (in their pajamas) for a night of care-free entertainment. Those were the days!
hey Turkey hill, why can’t you come to largo, Md. I would love to go and see a drive in movie. I was very young when I did go to a drive in movie. Turkey Hill I still love your ice cream. I just brought some ice cream today.
There’s a drive near where I live.WOW
We liked to see the traveling movies come to Williamsport, PA during Little League World Series, or any other week.
This is awesome! I spent alot of my teenage years with my friends at the drive ins. I cried when they closed the last one in our area. This is a great way to keep a tradition going, and what better way than with Turkey Hill?
That is so cool! Come to New York Turkey Hill!
What a great way to spend the summer! See a movie under the stars and enjoy some Turkey Hill ice cream at the same time.
WE ENJOY THE MOVIES THAT WAS SHOWN LAST YEAR AND WE CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THEY START AGAIN THIS YEAR.
Omigosh – I LOVE Madagascar! I’ll have to come to one of the screenings in Ephrata in August! Yay! Thanks Turkey Hill for doing this!
Good times to be had for sure!
where ever you go it would be a scream ; it scream to eat turkey hill ice cream
MY WIFE DONNA AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE CATCH AT LEAST ONE OF YOU SHOWINGS IN PENNSYLVANIA. HERE AT HOME WE ENJOY TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM AND A MOVIE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. WE HAVEN’T FOUND ANY FLAVORS THAT WE DON’T LIKE. THE QUALITY OF TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM NEVER COMES INTO QUESTION, ONLY QUESTION WE HAVE WITH TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM IS IF THERE IS ENOUGH IN THE FREEZER. THANK YOU FOR TOP QUALITY AND REASONABLE PRICES. GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the sea…By the sea…By the beautiful sea…..watching movies on the big screen and eating lots of Turkey Hill Ice Cream!
Would you consider a visit to the Jersey Shore? We’d all LOVE to have a “movies and ice cream night” on the beach!
I love your ice cream! No other compares to Turkey Hill! Especially the Butter Pecan.
I love your ice cream, especially the Butter Pecan…it’t the best!
There is no other treat that could celebrate a special occasion or event than Turkey Hill Ice Cream. It is this pride of the party, the topping to a great meal, and the perfect way to end the day.
Wasting away in Springfield, PA-
Sipping my last Turkey Hill shake-
Blew off my flip flops–dashed for the counter top, Knowing my Turkey Hill was only a scoop away-Some people say there are better times in the day,
But I only know,without your outside show and my family with Turkey Hill
Life makes no sense at all…Thanks for so many memories!!
Turkey Hill ice cream is the best! My favorite is the elusive Peanut Butter Marshmallow.
Turkey Hill chocolate chip mint is the BEST !! (I have another brand of cc mint in my freezer right now and can’t wait to get some Turkey Hill – no comparison !!!)
Turkey Hill and the movies – Just perfection!
Turkey Hill ice cream and the movies – Summer Perfection!
My 90 year old Mom cannot have too much sugar, but loves ice cream. We feel that your “no sugar added ice cream” is the best there is. The amount of choices you provide our far superior to other brands. Thank You
I love ice cream and I am particularly attracted to Duetto all flavors. It is so refreshing.
Great Idea! Movies and Turkey Hill ice cream what a smooth combo!
Love the Duetto flavors. Could we get the Christmas flavors all year round?
Duetto flavors are superb!
What a great idea to see a love for Turkey Hill ice cream benefitting such fantastic charitable causes as pediatric leukemia and the Children’s Hospital Oncology Division!!! People should have ice cream fund-raisers like this one all over the world!
I love your producs especialy “Black cherry”
regads, V.S.
CAN’T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE HAVE ENJOYED THE ROOTBEER DUETTO!! rEMINDS US OF THE OLD FASHIONED ROOT BEER FLOATS THAT MOM USED TO MAKE FOR US. ANY CHANCE OF TURKEY HIL COMING TO MASSACHUSETTS WITH AN ICE CREAM FESTIVAL??? tHAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL!
I love this site and your party cake ice cream is better than any other out there!…Looking forward to Junior Mint!!!!
That is so cool. Please come closer to Philly. We used to have so many drive-ins here, the kids don’t even remember them and they were such an adventure when we were growing up.
I miss Turkey Hill Ice Cream so much. They do not sell in California but I do get to eat it when I visit my mom in PA. I miss her bunches too. I hope to see you both soon.
I love your ice cream and your Iced Tea. The only thing better than Turkey Hill Ice Cream is HOMEMADE ice cream…which I am making on the 4th of July!!! mmmmmmmm
What a wonderful idea I would love to try ity. It is a family oriented thing to do with your family.
I am hooked on your Duetto, any flavor.
Can’t wait to taste that Coconut Duetto
Ice Cream. Butter Pecan is one of my
favorites and I am sure Cocunut Duetto will be another. Would love to have you
at a Rhode Island beach with Ice Cream!
I love Turkey Hill ice cream. It is the perfect ending to any meal, all year round.
I love the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream sandwiches. Why quit making them?:(
I LOVE Turkey Hill Ice cream products, it has a taste like NO other ice cream and cannot be beat. I also love being a member and on your mailing list,keep up the GREAT Work!!
Any Turkey Hill in an ice cream cone is fine with me.
I’m intrigued by the Junior Mint and I’ll look for it at the grocery store tomorrow
I eat ice cream almost everyday. My favorite flavor is coffee. Turkey Hill has by far the best coffee ice cream of all those I have tasted. Dutch Chocolate is my second favorite. Thanks for making such a quality product.
Great Ice cream. It’s hard to pick a favorite! Butter Pecan and Chocolate Marshmallow are at the top. A question; Rum raisin never seems to be on the shelves in our olcal markets…would like to try it.
I have three daughters and one grand-daughter and we all love Turkey Hill Ice Cream! I’d love to win ice cream for a year. We all would. Can’t wait to try Junior Mint flavor. Pick me!!!!!!
Just a short note to say hi and let you know I will be enjoying your graat ice creams during July ice cream month. However around my house it is more like ice cream year. We enjoy our products that are fresh and locally produced year round. Although they are a little more refreshing in summer. Keep up the great work making some of my farorite ice cream.
LOVE TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM ALLLLLLLLL FLAVORS!!!!!!
HELLO AGAIN TURKEY HILL MY FAVORITE ICE CREAM MAKER. LOOKING FORWARD TO A MONTH OF NEW AND SPECIAL TREATS. I WILL BE TRYING THE NEW TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM. MY FAMILY ENJOYS ALL OF YOUR PRODUCTS. THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AMERICAN ICON.
OUR FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION WILL SURELY HAVE AN ASSORTMENT OF TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A SPECIAL COMPANY
We have a Friendly’s Ice Cream place just down the road. Their ice cream is good, but I wish they served Turkey Hill instead.
Turkey Hill is the BEST…..my freezer is full of it! How about bringing back Apple Strudel!!!!! MMMMMMMMMM
I have been serving Turkey Hill ice cream to my granddaughter since she was a baby (she is now 13). When she comes to my home, she always ask for some Turkey Hill and seconds is always a must.
TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A PROBLEM FOR MY WIFE AND I. WE LIVED IN THE SYRACUSE NY SUBURBS FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED TURKEY HILL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY YOUR VANILLA, IN THE BLACK CONTAINER. WELL, ALONG COMES DUETTO, ESPECIALLY SOFT VANILLA WITH RASPBERRY AND EVERYTHING ELSE WENT OUT THE WINDOW. IT WAS VERY HARD TO FIND, ALTHOUGH OTHER DUETTO COMBO’S WERE MORE READILY AVAILABLE. WE MOVED LAST MONTH TO MARYLAND, AND WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT, THE SAME SITUATION EXISTS. DUETTO IS NOT AS AVAILABLE AS THE REST OF TURKEY HILL’S LINE, AND THE VANILLA/RASPBERRY COMBINATION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. I FEEL LIKE INDIANA JONES SEARCHING FOR THE HOLY GRAIL. WELL, NOT QUITE, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. I GREW UP IN NEW YORK CITY AND AM AQUAINTED WITH THE FINEST ITALIAN STYLE GELATO AND DUETTO DOESN’T SUFFER BY COM-PARISON. ON THE CONTRARY, I FIND IT TO BE THE MOST CREAMY, ENJOYABLE TREAT I CAN REMEMBER HAVING, INCLUDING THE PREMIUM BRANDS. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
I wish Turkey Hill would have some of their ice cream events in the Ludlow Ma area….. I love you Butter Pecan!! Thanks for all you do!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Turkey Hill ice cream. We make frappes(called milk shakes in your area, but in New England frappes are made with ice cream). Particularly like to use Duetto ice creams mixed with fresh fruits(eg strawberries/blueberries/) for a refreshing drink.
One of my granddaughters who is 18 will
only eat your Choc-O-Mint ice cream. Twice
I brought home a different brand, and she
would not eat it. She only likes yours.I
have learned my lesson now with Choc-O-Mint. We have many other flavors
that are just the best compared to other
brands. Keep those new flavors coming. I
have one a vanilla root beer combo.
I love your ice cream.Can’t wait to try the Junior Mint! I can’t find the quart containers here though, the ice cream sandwiches are also hard to find.
Love, love your delicious icecream!!!
It’s the best! Keep up the good work!
