Some of the fun stuff that happened in 09 at Capannari Ice Cream
I know I just wrote that I need to look forward and say good riddens to 2009 but the more I thought about the year, I realize although the weather stunk, we did have some great things happen.
The year started out with a call for people to submit their thoughts on where the best ice cream shop in America was to AmericanAirlines.com The author was in search of some great independent ice cream stores. Our customers responded in force and made quite an impression on the author. After waiting on pins and needles, the article was published and WE MADE IT. Top Ten Ice Cream Destinations in America! Not bad.

Saying goodbye to 2009
We closed the retail shop last night with about 10 pints of ice cream left...just made it.
We look back on 2009 as one of those years of endurance. Early on, we fretted terribly about the economy and if ice cream would too fall victim to cut backs. We worried our corporate catering would be hit hard by the looming "crash." Little did we know, it would be the weather that gave us the most trouble. Record rain in June, record low temps in July and a September and October that felt like November and December. Holy smokes, it got old. I am sad to close the door to the shop til March but I also feel like if we say goodbye to 09 we are saying goodbye to bad weather....who am I kidding!! Let's endure this winter by reaching down deep and bearing with it in HOPE that March will bring sunshine. The ecomony should be rolling back by then too. Here's to looking forward.
To all our customers who came rain or shine....thank you! We will miss you til March.
