Fair Time is Fun Time

 

Ice Cream Scooper

Tillamook scoops up ice cream to support the local 4-H programs

It’s Tillamook County Fair time! In Tillamook, it’s a time for pronto pups, ice cream cones, exhibits, horse races, Pig-n-Ford races, and thrills on the midway. It’s also time to enjoy a Tillamook Ice Cream cone and support the local 4-H programs while doing so.

TCCA and the local 4-H have been scooping together since 2010. Farmer-owners and employees, alongside 4-H leaders, parents, and students, staff the Tillamook Ice Cream booth together. The proceeds are used to help fund individual programs and provide scholarships. Over the past two years, TCCA has donated approximately $22,500 directly to the 4-H program. And this year, we are hoping to do better than ever. After you have a scoop of ice cream, be sure to check out the bovine beauties in the dairy barn. It is their hard work, after all, that goes into making our deliciously creamy Tillamook Ice Cream.

Opening Day at the Tillamook County Fair

 

Opening Day at the Tillamook County Fair

In 2010, the town of Tillamook, Oregon was ranked one of the top 10 Places for a Blue Ribbon County Fair by USA Today. This year is no exception. The Tillamook County Fair was hopping on opening day. Members of local 4-H clubs and their leaders worked alongside Tillamook employees scooping nearly 1000 delicious Tillamook ice cream cones for fairgoers. That’s a lot of ice cream! Though there was no clear winner when it came to crowd pleasers, Grandma’s Cake Batter, Cookie Dough, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Coffee Almond Fudge competed fiercely at the top.

This is the second year Tillamook has partnered with the 4-H program to scoop ice cream at the booth and, in return, 4-H receives the proceeds from the sales to fund individual programs and provide scholarships. Last year, we raised $11,300 at the booth and this year we are hoping to do even better. So come on out and visit us at the fair through August 13th. After you have a scoop of ice cream, go check out the beauties in the dairy barn. It’s their hard work that goes into making creamy Tillamook ice cream.
