HearthBeats
Celebrates National Ice Cream Day Sunday July 18th, 2004!
Special Events Commemorate Centennial of Ice Cream Cone
ST. LOUIS, MO
– The ice cream cone, once a Saint Louis claim to fame as one of
many food inventions of the 1904 World’s Fair, it turns out, may
not have actually been invented at the fair! However, historians
agree, it was certainly
popularized there making this year, in essence, “100th
Birthday of the Ice Cream Cone!”
HearthBeats
Vintage Kitchen Wares, a retailer of nostalgic collectibles from
the hearth stove of yesteryear to the kitchen of today, will
celebrate the centennial of the ice cream cone this July during
National Ice Cream Month. Throughout the month, the store will
feature Ice Cream related merchandise displays and presentations
of historical and culinary information regarding Ice Cream
including modern twists on old time favorite recipes to
accommodate vegan, lactose intolerant, low-carb and other dietetic
concerns.
July was
designated as National Ice Cream Month by President Ronald Reagan
in 1984. He also declared the third Sunday of the month as
National Ice Cream Day. In the proclamation, President Reagan
called for all people of the United States to observe these events
with "appropriate ceremonies and activities."
On National Ice Cream Day, Sunday, July
18th, from 11:00AM to 5:00PM, HearthBeats will feature activities
for kids of all ages including a
coloring contest and ice cream
making demonstrations. Author Pamela Vaccaro will speak and sign
copies of her book,
"Beyond the Ice Cream Cone: The Whole Scoop on Food at the 1904
World's Fair" from 12:30PM to 2:00PM.
Plus, look for a special appearance by
Popsicle the Clown!
