10 Years!

IT IS A BIG YEAR FOR US - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY - MARCH 2011


I truly CANNOT believe it has been 10 years. At the cost of sounding incredibly cliche, TIME DOES FLY WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN.

LOOKING BACK AT THE FIRST 10 YEARS:

◦We have employed approximately 100 kids over our 10 years
◦We have shown 45 movies at Mooovie Night
◦We have had 30 Concerts In The Park
◦We have hosted 25 Rock-Paper-Scissor Tournaments
◦We have STUFFED 40,000 eggs with candy for our Easter Egg Hunts
◦We have donated more than 75,000 scoops of ice cream to libraries, park districts, schools, charities, block parties....you name it, we've donated to it.

We have served Duff Goldman-Ace of Cakes, Paula Deen, Cat Cora, Giada DiLaurentis, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, WGN's John Williams, and American Idol Winner Lee DeWyze.

We could not have prayed for, planned or scripted our incredible ride so far. All we do know is that we are well aware of our blessings and so incredibly thankful for the past 10 years and all that it has been.

The only stat I did not list, is the number of customers that have walked through our front door. That number I do not have. All I do know is that so many of those customers, we now call friends. We are so thankful to everyone for supporting us and taking time out of their day to stop in, enjoy a scoop, and spend time building our dream. Hopefully you have felt the same kind of connection to us as we have felt to you and to this community.

Let's move forward and embrace whatever the NEXT 10 years brings our way. I can't wait!
