The Orchards INVENTION OF THE ICE CREAM TRUCK FOOD FOR THOUGHT No one knows for sure who the first ice cream man was, but he may have been an employee of Harry Burt from Youngstown, Ohio. In 1920, Mr. Burt developed frozen ice cream on a stick and called it the Good Humor® bar. To promote his creation, he used a dozen trucks driven by drivers in white uniforms to sell his ice cream bars around Youngstown. The trucks featured bells the drivers would ring to get people’s attention. The bars became a huge hit. Ice cream trucks usually serve a wide variety of ice cream treats. Some of the most popular items include popsicles, snow cones, ice cream sandwiches and soft serve ice cream. Some ice cream trucks also offer soft drinks, candy and other snacks. SPRING HAS SPRUNG Eugenia works intently on her spring wreath craft. It is a lovely feeling to clean and decorate with the coming of spring. Using a few recycled materials is a great way to create beautiful art and keep our community green and beautiful! Find you next project today!
