GOODWILL AND THE GIANT COW
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
As many of you know, Turkey Hill’s Giant Cow really gets around. You see it at fairs, carnivals, store openings, sporting events and sometimes, if you’re lucky, cruising down the highway on its way to another appearance.
Today, our Giant Swirly Cow paid a visit to Goodwill’s award ceremony in Lancaster, bringing with her plenty of Turkey Hill ice cream. The party was purchased at a Lancaster Farmland Trust benefit auction and then donated to Goodwill. Goodwill provides job coaching and training to people with disabilities, and today they honored trainees and business partners for their achievements and commitment.
Some trainees were brought to tears over the excitement of receiving an award for the great work that they do. But once they shed the tears, they were dancing and waving around their favorite Turkey Hill ice cream cups. There were plenty of flavors to choose from. From Eagles Touchdown Sundae to Phillies Graham Slam to Party Cake. Many people couldn’t decide which one to pick, so they picked two flavors. Some chose three.
Of course, there was some friendly debate, too. Steelers fans shied away from the Eagles flavors (they don’t know what they’re missing), so they went with the Party Cake instead. Overall, more than 150 people were on hand and thrilled to enjoy Turkey Hill ice cream on this warm, May day.

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.

May 12th, 2009 at 2:07 pmGoodwill and the Turkey Hill Team…Blessings to all of you for all of your good and hard work. It puts smiles on people’s faces, and in their hearts. Thanks a bunch!
May 11th, 2009 at 10:57 amThanks all! We always have a great time at events like these because, like many of you said, it feels good to give back to our neighbors.
As for when the Giant Cow will be visiting a location near you, she’s got a busy summer schedule, but we’ll try to keep you posted on her whereabouts here on the Ice Cream Journal.

May 10th, 2009 at 9:54 ammy daughter in law who works at Good Will and my nephew who works at Turkey Hill worked together w/arrangements for this celebration, so I read your story with interest. Yes, it sounds like it was a big hit!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:32 amAwesome. Those steelers and eagles are some kind of rivals. Now even ice cream. It just a fun game.
May 10th, 2009 at 7:03 amI moved out of town a few years ago but get back often. Have never seen the swirl cow. She looks cool.

May 9th, 2009 at 10:59 amGoodwill is a great place—I’m a giver and a buyer there–great job TH
May 9th, 2009 at 10:45 amI think that was wonderful of TH to do this for Goodwill. I have a Goodwill store about 1/2mile from my home and it is great. I bet they really did have a good time, whenever TH ice cream is, there is sure to be fun. Keep up the great work. Linda
May 9th, 2009 at 10:33 amHI! IF THE COWS WERE THAT BIG ON CATCH THE CONTEST I WOULD NOT HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE TRYING TO GRAB THEM. THEY SURE ARE FAST. BUT ITS FUN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
May 9th, 2009 at 10:25 amYou should make one of the swirly cows into a ICE CREAM MACHINE. That way, all the kids out there would see the ice cream coming out and know where the main ingredient in ICE Cream comes from.
May 9th, 2009 at 10:11 amServe the Ice Cream out of her right hip bone.
I love the Swirly Ice Cream Cow. She looks good enough to eat and makes me dream of a big dish of smooth, swirly ice cream.
May 9th, 2009 at 10:07 amSeeing the Turkey Hill’s Giant Cow always makes me smile. I am fortunate to leave close enough to Lancaster to be able to have seen the cow at several area events. I am glad that once again has shown people that they are appreciated. Keep up the good work Goodwill and Turkey Hill.

May 9th, 2009 at 9:45 amLiving in Lancaster County, I have seen the Giant Cow several times going down the highway and parked at various places. Always bring a smile to my face, as does your ice cream. Keep up the good work Turkey Hill. We love you!
May 9th, 2009 at 9:19 amTHe Giant Swirly Cow is the perfect “Embassador of Goodwill”! She brings a smile to everyone’s face,, just like Turkey Hill ice cream does. Honoring the people who work for Goodwill was such a wonderful thing
May 9th, 2009 at 9:17 amIt’s great that Turkey Hill is so involved with the community. I am sure you brought smiles to the many participants. Keep up the good work sharing with others and making delicious ice cream.
May 9th, 2009 at 8:55 amWhat a wonderful way to honor those who help others. The Turkey Hill Giant Cow makes everyone smile and when you know that ice cream can’t be far behind, what could be more rewarding?
May 9th, 2009 at 8:51 amI think it’s great to be rewarded with such a wonderful prize. Those workers got the best ice cream and probably had the best time together. I’m thankful for thrift stores and Turkey Hill. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
