cancer and recognizes their fami
lies’ need for support,” said
Louise Huntley Brown, Assistant
Director of the Development
Office at the Hershey Medical
Center. “Approximately 99% of

Additional monies from the Fund
are used to support programs at
the Medical Center including
children’s cancer research.

The “Scooper Bowl” will be
preceded by a media ice cream
making contest. This will begin
just after 12 p.m., and will involve
representatives of the Harrisburg
area media. These groups will be
creating their own flavors of
homemade ice cream. “Scooper
Bowl” participants will be able to

ing the afternoon festival. Kreider
Dairy Farms will be preparing the
media’s ice cream flavors for
public sampling.
The ice cream industry in Penn
sylvania is recognized as the
nation’s second largest producer
of ice cream. Manufacturers
throughout the state make a varie
ty of products from the hard-pack
ice cream used for dipping to spe
cial frozen dairy novelties and
treats. Many of the materials for
these tempting delights are pro
vided by Pennsylvania’s dairy and
agricultural food industries. The
state’s abundance of fresh cream
and milk makes this area an excel
lent location for ice cream
manufacturing.
Pennsylvania’s Dairy Promo
tion Partners have been collective
ly promoting dairy products since
1989. The Pennsylvania Farm
Show is just one of many activities
jointly conducted by these organi
zations. Further information about
the ice cream “Scooper Bowl” at
