Default Posse...ice cream run....

I've been thinking about going to a bunch of ice cream shops and sample their fares. Maybe 10 of them.

Looking to see if there are any ice cream lovers out there that would like to go on a mini-cruise to ice cream shops. I mentioned this idea to Joaquin and he said he had collected a list of ice cream places.

If there is any interest, we will put together an 'ice cream cruise'.

Sounds like a full belly of fun. I hope Tulmeadow Farm in Simsbury is on the list. Not for the lactose intolerant.

We would be in. Have two places down here Salem Farms Buttonwood Farms in Preston, Scotties in Colchester, and Fish Family Farm in Bolton.

http://www.buttonwoodfarmicecream.com/

http://salemvalleyfarmsicecream.com/

http://www.fishfamilyfarm.com/

http://scottiesfrozencustard.com/

All these places make their own ice cream. Scotties is custard ice cream and is awesome besides a great food stand.

May I suggest including "Rich Farms" in Oxford on 67.
They make their own there too. And it is rich.
The "kiddie size" is ample, and even their "small" is large!

Sure and then we can add Peaches "N Cream in Lichfield. Lets see how this cruise gets set as we may need the whole day to go around the state. East to West or West to East.

Unfortunately, some ice cream shops will not make the cut due to time and belly constraints.

We will be working to making everything 'fit'.

Particulars will be forth-coming as they are developed.

3. We will go to 6 different towns and anticipate the run to end around 3 pm.
