As the banana split dwindled from Its original 6 foot height, the crew that scooped
the ice cream admitted they were all nuts and going bananas.
The Scoop On A Canoe And
Its Crew That Went Bananas
BY LOU ANN GOOD
LANCASTER Some people
will do anything for attention. And
farmers are no exception. To con
vince people just how good ice
cream really tastes, the Lancaster
County Farmer’s Association built
a six-foot high banana split inside a
canoe last Friday to celebrate the
county farm show.
More than 2,000 Park City
shoppers gobbled 140 gallons of
ice cream loaded with 12 gallons
of strawberries, 150 pounds of
pineapples, 150 pounds of bananas
and 10 gallons of fudge.
The crew that scooped the bana
na splits admitted they were all
going bananas and slightly nuts
from their non-stop free service,
but from the overheard comments,
the gigantic dessert fulfilled its
purpose. “It’s great I love it.”
Shoppers commented. “Hey,”
someone called to a passerby,
“Come have a free banana split.”
The skeptical shopper paused,
studied the generous dishes of ice
cream and said, “You got to be kid
ding. No one gives away anything
for free.” But they were wrong.
Turkey Hill donated the ice
cream and toppings and the Far
mer’s Association provided the
spoons, dishes and most of the
labor to make the annual Park City
farm show event a delicious
success.
John Cox, market manager for
Turkey Hill, said the 6 foot-high
banana split took about 15 minutes
to make and 2-2'/j hours to serve.
“You gotta move once you have
the ice cream out,” he said.
This is the third year Turkey Hill
has dished out free ice cream to
Park City shoppers. The past two
years, they built sundaes. This
year, Ruby Bollinger, the Farmer’s
Association member who spear
headed the event, suggested they
