As reported last week, we recently hosted our 10th Annual Turkey Hill Country Classic. It’s a basically a day of family fun here in Lancaster County. There was lots of ice cream, drinks, Hatfield hot dogs, Herr’s chips and, as always, lots of biking and running races.
After some early morning sprinkles, the weather cleared up and allowed us to get on with the festivities. All proceeds benefited the Lancaster Farmland Trust, which works hard to preserve farmland here in Lancaster County. More than 300 runners and 400 cyclists entered the sporting events (a nice shot of the action is below).
If you missed this year’s Classic, save the date for next year’s event, which will be held on May 1st. See you all in 358 days!
Special thanks to photographer Joe Hess for letting us use this great photo here. Feel free to check out more of Joe’s Country Classic photos here.

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.
LOVE THE COW! GREAT MASCOT FOR TURKEY HILL!!!
how come the cow wasn’t running?
That giant container of icecream should have had a opening in the side for samples. CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP!!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful choice.
I hope next year I will be able to come to the Country Classic. Being a caregiver I don’t get to go many places. I am so glad we have a Turkey Hill Store about 1/4 mile from my home and a Giant Store about 1 mile away, so I can alway get my delicious Turkey Hill ice cream. It is a staple at my home, everyday. Thanks for a wonderful product, and so many delicious flavors to choose. Linda
Does that giant cow have a name? If not, why not a contest to name her?
The kids in the photo are all over that ice cream! Shows just how good Turkey Hill ice cream is! I agree with a contest to name the cows!
Great Cow!
What an awesome pic! Yay Turkey Hill!
DO YOU THINK THE PINK COW WILL BE JEALOUS OF THIS BLACK & WHITE. I KINDOF LIKE THE PINK & WHITE ONES BETTER. BUT I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE “TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM”. THE COWS ARE A LITTLE EXTRA LIKE WHIPPED CREAM ON THE SIDE.
maybe next year will make it up there, i hope
Hi Turkey Hill,
I love the picture, but when are you coming to Maryland for a day or so,Maryland carry all of turkey hill ice cream.
For those of you who have not seen the cow “in person”, it is HUGE. The photos do not do it justice. It is much more impressive when you see it, or especially stand next to it. WOW! If you get an opportunity to go see it, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
I hope to see the Turkey Hill Giant Cow some day. Will the Cow be in NJ any time soon?
Love the cow! Keep the good things coming Turkey Hill!
We have friends who live near Lancaster. We will have to hit them up for a place to stay so we can make the event next year! Sounds like a lot of fun.
maybe I see you next year, still loved to hear the cow
Can the cow come to our birthday party? We are going to try a Turkey Hill Ice cream cake. Can’t wait
TURKEY HILL NEED A TURKEY FOR A MASCOT NOT A COW
