Ice Cream
Continued from Page 21
As we wind down our summer, remember to look for and support these unique small businesses if you can, especially after a difficult 15 to 18 months of community and business disruptions due to world events and recognize how special those businesses are in our hearts and for what they have to offer to our communities with their special contribution. Listed are a number of locations of where you might go. As our summer soon comes to an end and you travel through “Amish Country”
feeling the need to indulge those cravings and enjoy a cool refreshing and tasty treat, that is of course…Ice cream.

community, from the little public library in a former one-room school to the volunteer fire company. Surrounded by farms, the town has grown little and retains much of its former charm, even when thousands of visitors descend upon it during the tourist season. Many residents and visitors enjoy the atmosphere of this small town, a place where family, community, religion, and hard work are still important values. The village of Intercourse has certainly changed over the years, but it has changed slowly, and “sometimes the things that grow the slowest are the ones that endure the longest.”

Bird-in-Hand Continued from Page 17 dinners.The town of Bird-in-Hand remained relatively unknown until a musical called PLAIN & FANCY opened in New York. The show Playbill noted that “The action takes place in and around Bird-in-Hand, a town in the Amish country of Pennsylvania.” The cast was brought to Bird-in-Hand on January 17, 1955, prior to the official opening. Today, the town of Bird-inHand is still small, said to have a population of only about 300 people. On any given day, there may be more visitors than inhabitants. Many are city-folks who have come to enjoy the country atmosphere, history, and shopping. It is said that
visitors can "still expect friendly shopkeepers, homegrown Lancaster County foods, and restful lodging for weary travelers."
