A Month Long Celebration of Frozen Goodness

Photos Cathy Tyson

Celebrating national ice cream month wasn't on Jim Robinson's mind when he stopped in to Lafayette's newest ice cream parlor. Back in 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July National Ice Cream Month, and ice cream makers have been hyping the fact ever since.

Chalk it up to a sunny weekend afternoon and wanting to support a new local business, Robinson and a friend were enjoying delicious, velvety and not too sweet freshly made nectarine ice cream at Smitten recently. Just down the street at Yogurt Shack, there was an equally large crowd lined up to make self serve custom creations. Sisters Bridgette and Marlowe were out with their mom digging into some yummy-ness. Surely the former president, a fan of sweet treats, wouldn't mind that the official ice cream month could be expanded to include yogurt and enjoyed year round, now that July is almost a goner? C.
