The folks over at Turkey Hill are “giddy with anticipation” for National Ice Cream Month. Well, the wait is over, America’s favorite month started today, along with a chance to win a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream. To enter, visit the company’s blog, the Ice Cream Journal, and leave a comment on one of their July posts. Good luck, and remember, ice cream is a perfect way to end a summer day!

Each Wednesdays in July we’ll write about something right here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Those weekly entries will include an authentic Lancaster County prize, which we’ll give away to one comment chosen at random from that entire week. At the end of the month, we’ll give away our grand prize: a package that includes a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream, a one-night stay at a local Lancaster County bed & breakfast AND a personally guided tour of Turkey Hill Dairy by everyone’s favorite ice cream expert, Ernie!
