Friday is the day senior adults will have the opportunity to beat the crazy Texas heat at the Homemade Ice Cream Freeze Off at the Senior Citizens Center.
As of Tuesday morning, 16 people had confirmed they will be making freezers of homemade ice cream for senior citizens to enjoy and judge. That’s right – this contest will be judged by those attending it. This is one popularity contest senior citizens won’t want to miss — just be sure to get your “chip” or ballot so you can have your say. Prizes will be awarded to the top three ice creams, along with five honorable mention recognitions as well.
The event begins at 2 p.m. July 22 at Sulphur Springs Senior Citizens Center and continues until it’s gone and the votes are all in. This year’s event offers a variety of frozen treats, everything from traditional ice cream flavors such as strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and cookies and cream, to cherry, cherry cheesecake, banana and banana nut and chocolate malted crunch, peach and peach cobbler, strawberry banana, Butterfinger and piña colada. There promises to be something to whet even the most discerning pallet.
