The huge sundae was the
brainchild of Hershey Foods and
the Lancaster County Dairy Asso

ice cream promotion.
It all started when Hershey
called Martinis assistant grocery
manager Vickie Firestone and
asked if they wanted to build the
sundae. Firestone, who is very
promotion-conscious jumped at
the opportunity.
“I like doing stuff like that,”
Firestone said. “I like displays and
doing things with the public.”
So with Hershey providing syr

mountain in, Breyers came

vanilla ice cream, while Graybill’s
Dairy supplied the whipped cream.
A mass of Friday shoppers
waited patiently licking their lips
in anticipation of this cool treat on
a hot June day. Firestone said they
would hand out free dishes of ice
cream until it was gone and SOO
dishes later, it was.
“If we did this before, this is the
first time in a long time,” Firestone
said, seemingly quite pleased with
the response.
A dish of scrumptious ice cream
