Ice Cream

 

I scream, you scream, we all scream for… #IceCream!

There is nothing more satisfying and authentic than enjoying your favourite flavour of ice cream on a hot summer’s day. Hot weather calls for cold treats.  We totally get it.  Perhaps you’re a waffle cone connoisseur or a milkshake maven always on the prowl for the delicious dairy goodness.

Or, maybe the kids are getting cranky in the back seat and you need a decisive way to pacify the situation and achieve precious moments of quiet while their whine-makers are otherwise occupied with a delicious icy distraction. Either way, you’ve clicked on the right blog, my friend!

While exploring the unspoiled beauty of Lennox & Addington County, it’s always good to know where you can stop for a rest, and enjoy some refreshments. Thanks to our handy little blog post, you’ll be well prepared for your next summer road trip.

If you’re enjoying some camping at Bon Echo Provincial Park or other sites in the area, you might find yourself craving something of the cold and frosty variety. Or, perhaps after your fourth can of ravioli or stick of beef jerky you might desire something a little more robust for dinner? Did someone say pizza?

Worry not, courageous traveller! All you need to do is pack up the family and take a very short trip (7 min) to Finnegan’s General Store in Cloyne. Here you can feed the herd with freshly baked pizza, and of course – a cult classic ice cream cone.
