Icecream Journal

NOTE: Our request for ice cream bloggers was so well received that all of the topics below were taken within 12 hours!! The response was so great that we decided to cover some topics twice so we could add a few more writers to the “payroll.” As of now, all of our writing positions have been filled, but our reader positions are always open! If you weren’t chosen to be a writer, remember that we’ll choose five comments at the end of July to receive a one month supply of Turkey Hill ice cream. Good luck!!!

July is right around the corner, which can only mean one thing – National Ice Cream Month! Each year on the Ice Cream Journal, we try to do something different to celebrate the greatest month of the year and this year we’ve decided to try something we’ve never done before.

We’ve decided to turn the blog over to the people who make it all worth while – OUR READERS – and let you do the writing. After all, everyone here at Turkey Hill loves reading all the comments you leave, so we’re pretty sure we’ll love to read the blog entries you create.

Here’s how it will work. Listed at the bottom of this entry are 14 topics for blog entries. If you’d like to write one, send an e-mail to icecreamjournal@gmail.com. Let us know which topic you’d like to write about, as well as two other topics you’d like to cover (just in case the topic you chose is already taken). After that, we’ll talk to you about how long the entry should be or answer any specific questions you might have.

Of course, you’ll be paid for becoming an official Turkey Hill blog writer. Each of our 14 blog entry writers will receive a one-month supply of Turkey Hill ice cream! And to reward our loyal readers and commenters, we’ll also give away FIVE one month supplies of ice cream to five commenters chosen at random from all the comments left on the Ice Cream Journal in July.

Below are the topics we’d like you to write about. Let us know with an e-mail to icecreamjournal@gmail.com which entry you’d like to write about (also make two backup choices). But hurry… these jobs won’t last long!

What’s your earliest ice cream memory or fondest ice cream memory from childhood? Describe that memory in detail. (Who was there, what ice cream did you eat, what were you doing, when was it?)
