SCREAM IN FOR ICE CREAM

June 29, 2005 The Waynedale News Staff 0 min read

July is officially National Ice Cream Month. The Stand is adding a WOW factor to a steamy summer day by tempting your taste buds with coneys and ice cream and providing a Cruz-In with your car.

Co-owner of The Stand, Skip Sandels, explained, “Every couple of weeks classic car owners have been gathering at our local ice cream stand to show off their rides and talk to other gearheads.”

“I remember cruising the local drive-ins back in the sixties and thought it would be a good idea to re-create that same atmosphere again. It’s been fun seeing all the great cars.”

Stop by for a root beer or an ice cream cone on July 11 for the next Cruz-In at The Stand, next to Bobick’s Golf.
