Perry’s legend says that H. Morton Perry was in the broom making business, but became allergic to process and at the doctor’s advice had to choose a different occupation. This is when he decided to buy a milk route, and the rest is history!

We are very excited to celebrate Perry’s Ice Cream 93rd  birthday next week. Report on the festivities and photos from good-ol’ times to be posted. Stay tuned!

You are welcome to leave birthday wishes in the comments section – we will pass along to the team and to the family!

In 1984 President Reagan proclaimed July to be National Ice Cream Month and recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by a full 90% of the nation’s population. In the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” So it is almost our civic duty to eat ice cream more frequently in July.

In theme with this month’s celebration we picked 10 To-Dos challenge a true ice cream fan would put him/herself up to this month:

1. Visit 3 new ice cream stands
2. Try 3 new flavors, here are the new ones for Perry’s in  2012 – NEW FLAVORS
3. Try a non-classic banana split
4. Eat ice cream for breakfast
5. Eat a new homemade Sundae
6. Make an ice cream cake and share with friends and family - lots of ideas HERE and HERE
7. Share a scoop with someone you love
8. Take your parents/grandparents (and/or grandchildren) out for ice cream
9. Eat ice cream while splashing in a pool, lake, river or the ocean!
10. Try Perry’s new All Natural Premium Ice Cream!
