CONGRATS TO THE PHILLIES AND YANKEES!

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

October is here, which can mean only one thing for baseball fans – playoff baseball and the World Series. It’s an exciting time, which is why we’d like to congratulate the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees, both teams for which Turkey Hill makes special ice cream flavors, for making it to the playoffs this year.

If you’re a fan of either team, and we’re guessing many of you are, be sure to stock up on the official flavors so you can root, root, root for the home team in style. For Phillies fans, that means Phillies Graham Slam or Phillie Phanatic Double Play. For Yanks fans, you’ll want to stock up on Yankees Bronx Bombers Sundae or Yankees Pinstripe Brownie Blast.

Once again, congrats to both teams for making it this far, and may the best team – and best flavor – win!!

THE TURKEY HILL SHUFFLE AND A SWEET GRAND SLAM

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Below is a video of the “Turkey Hill Ice Cream Shuffle” which is played on the Phillies jumbotron during every Phillies home game. You might miss it because the video starts a little late, but the baseball starts out in the middle Turkey Hill container and you have to guess which container it’s in after they get done doing their shuffling. By the way, don’t miss the man in the red shirt toward the end of the video (on the left) who happens to be eating Turkey Hill ice cream out of a miniature Phillies helmet!

We should also take this time to belatedly congratulate Phillies first baseman, Ryan Howard, who hit a grand slam last week against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The bases loaded homer was the ninth of his young career, extending his team record. Phillies legend Mike Schmidt is second on the team’s grand slam list with seven. Congrats Ryan! Maybe some Turkey Hill Graham Slam ice cream is a good way to celebrate? (Sorry, we couldn’t resist.)

TURKEY HILL COUNTRY CLASSIC THIS WEEKEND INCLUDES PHILLY PHANATIC AND EAGLES’ SWOOP!

Monday, April 26th, 2010

It’s hard to believe we’ve been at it for 11 years, but this Saturday, May 1, we’ll be hosting our 11th annual Turkey Hill Country Classic. The Country Classic, which features biking and running events but also fun things for the whole family, will be held at the Central Manor Church in Washington Boro, PA here in Lancaster County. Our Giant Cow will be there and we’ll be have free Turkey Hill drinks, ice cream, Herr’s chips and Hatfield hot dogs.

The highlight this year, in addition to the races and fun and games for families, is our first ever Mascot Race at 10:50 am. Among the mascots who will be there are the Philly Phanatic (representing the Philadelphia Phillies), Swoop (representing the Philadelphia Eagles), Cylo (from the Lancaster Barnstormers), and others. In addition to racing, the mascots will be available for photos and autographs.

Anyone who’s been to one of our Country Classic events knows how much fun it is. Even if you’re not participating in one of our sporting events (which you can sign up for now or on the day of the event), kids and families still have lots of fun with various activities and games. And yes, the Baby Derby will return for its 6th year. The Baby Derby (10:30 am), which usually draws the loudest cheers of the day, is a no-holds-barred crawl to the finish line featuring some of the fastest babies (14 months and under) in all the land!

If you plan to attend, a detailed schedule of races and registration times can be found here. If you’re just coming to hang out and have fun, you should arrive around 10 am (or 9am to register for the kids races). That’ll give you plenty of time to enjoy some snacks before the Baby Derby and Mascot Race. If you’re using MapQuest or GPS to find the location, the address is 387 Penn Street, Washington Boro, PA. See you there!

BATTER UP!

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Smell that? It’s a subtle combination of grilled hot dogs, popcorn, and freshly cut grass. It’s a scent that can only mean one thing – baseball season has begun. That’s right, the Major League Baseball season kicked off this past weekend and the folks here at Turkey Hill couldn’t be more excited.

After all, what’s not to love about baseball season? Even if you don’t love baseball, you have to love the warmer weather and green grass. Or maybe you love the backyard barbeques and walks in the park. Or maybe it’s swimming in the pool and working in your garden. But if you’re a baseball fan, you get to love all of that stuff AND celebrate the return of America’s Pastime. Life is good, isn’t it?

We probably don’t have to remind you, but Turkey Hill is the proud sponsor of two of baseball’s best teams, the Philadelphia Philles and the New York Yankees. We also make the official ice cream flavors for both teams – Phillies Graham Slam and Phillie Phanatic Double Play for the Phils, and Pinstripe Brownie Blast and Bronx Bomber Sundae for the Yanks.

We’re also bringing back our Phillies Graham Slam sweepstakes this year, which could send you and friend to Florida to watch a Phillies Spring Training game in 2011. For more info, check out our website. Yankees fans also have a sweepstakes to help them see their favorite team in action, including a grand prize trip to Yankee Stadium and a special alumni dinner to meet some Yankee greats. Feel free to check out the details here. In the meantime, grab a scoop or two (or three) in support of your favorite team and get ready for an exciting season!

GO PHILLIES! GO YANKEES!

Phillies win NLDS!

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees!

Both teams won their Divisional Championships and will advance to their respective League Championship Series (this is a sweet repeat for the World Champion Fightin’ Phils, of course). Suffice it to say, Turkey Hill is awfully proud to be the official ice cream of both winning teams.

For either team, advancing again means a shot in the World Series. We think this is a win-win but if we had to pick a favorite based on their Turkey Hill team flavors, we’re caught in a pickle!

On one hand, the Phillies Graham Slam is chock-full of graham “phlavored” ice cream with scoops of choco marshmallow cups and a graham swirl while the Phillie Phanatic Double Play consists of Bavarian cream-flavored ice cream with caramel corn and caramel swirl. Yum!

On the other hand, the Yankees Bronx Bombers Sundae contains Chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookie swirl and chocolate covered crunchies, and the Pinstripe Brownie Blast is Vanilla ice cream with brownie batter swirl and brownie pieces. Mmmm!Mmmmm

Yankees win ALDS!

We’re not sure which team we’ll root for (it’s like picking a favorite child!) but it’s going to be fun watching the action unfold. Whether you make it out to the ball game, or you watch the action from your favorite recliner, be sure to clinch a bowlful of your team’s delicious Turkey Hill ice cream to cheer them on.

PHINALLY! THE PHILLIES WIN THE WORLD SERIES!

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

It’s a great day in Philadelphia because last night the Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 4-3 to win the World Series! Philly has a team in each of the four major sports (football, baseball, hockey and basketball) and this is the city’s first championship in ANY sport since 1983. Twenty-five years is a long time to wait, but it makes that much sweeter.

Our sincerest congratulations go out the Phillies and their many, many fans (including some right here in the Turkey Hill offices). We’re proud to be a Phillies sponsor and even prouder to say that our Phillies Graham Slam is the official ice cream of Major League Baseball’s World Champions!

THERE’S STILL TIME TO WIN!

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Watching the Home Run Derby last night got us thinking, how great is it to eat ice cream at the ballpark out of one of those miniature helmets? The baseball season is half over, but don’t worry, there’s still lots of baseball to be played (and ice cream to be eaten).

That also means there’s still a little over two months left in our Graham Slam Sweepstakes. To recap how the sweepstakes works, each container of Turkey Hill’s Graham Slam Premium Ice Cream (the official flavor of the Philadelphia Phillies) contains a sticker with a code on it. You can enter the code on our website for a chance to win tickets to an upcoming Phillies game. Eating ice cream for a chance to go to a baseball game? That’s what they call a “win-win” situation.

Thanks to Erin for letting us use this delicious photo!
