60-Gallon Ice Cream Sundae Draws Crowd At Mall
BY MARGIE FUSCO
Cambria County Correspondent
JOHNSTOWN - “This is great,”
a tattoo-covered truck driver said
to anyone who’d listen. Five-year
old Shaina Parkins and her three
year-old brother Craig had their
mouths so full of ice cream they
couldn’t talk. And one-year-old
Luray Cobaugh ignored the ice
cream eaters and found her own
dairy delight in a bottle of milk.
They were among the crowd that
watched the buildhig-and helped
consume-a huge ice cream sundae
at the Richland Mall near John
stown on Friday, June 27. The
event, sponsored by the Somerset
County Dairy Promotion Com
mittee during National Dairy
Month, was part of a three-day
promotion that featured free milk,
balloons, a T-shirt giveaway, a
milk trivia contest, visits by Rosie
Beal the cow, and plenty of han
douts.
The sundae contained 60 gallons
of ice cream, 40 pounds of
chocolate syrup, 10 pounds of
chopped nuts, 2 quarts of cherries,
and a mountain of whipped cream.
The concoction was topped with a
Styrofoam ball covered with
cherries.
The sundae-building crew in
cluded four disc jockeys and two
dairy princesses. Somerset County
Dairy Princess Missy Walker and
Craig, 3, and Shaina, 5, Parkins of EKon Road, Richland
Township, attack their share of the 60-gallon sundae.

Dairy Princess Laurie Duran of
Washington County helped Bob
Belz (WJAC-Johnstown), Jim
Burton (WKYE-Johnstown), Don
Evans (WVSC-Somerset), and
Arnie McFarland (WDAJ-
Somerset). Jim Harteis, and
Ebensburg dairy farmer and
members of the Allied Milk
Producers board of directors, was
master of ceremonies.
Galliker’s Dairy of Johnstown
supplied the ice cream. The
program was planned by Dorothy
Naugle of Allied Milk Producers
with assistance from Jan Harding
of the Pennsylvania Dairy
Promotion- Board and the
Somerset County Dairy Promotion
Committee.
Although the sundae wasn’t a
record-breaker and the ice cream
was too soft to pile as high as the
planners had hoped, the crowd
didn’t seem to care. They laughed
as the sticky mountain slipped and
slid in its “dish,” a 6-foot wading
pool. They howled when two of the
disc jockeys got more whipped
cream on each other than on the
sundae. And they crowded up to
the stage to get big servings of the
conconction as soon as it was
ready.
“I may not care much for milk,”
admitted the trucker as he edged
forward with the crowd, “but
there’s no one in the world who
