Farr's hit 100 years!

My grandpa always said, "if you're healthy the sky is the limit, make your dreams reality!" 100 years ago today marks the day that Farr's ice cream was created by my great grandpa. Although my Grandpa passed away over 12 years ago, I know he would have loved to be at tonight's event. Farr's is now in the genus book of world record for scooping the most ice cream in 1 hour. Our goal was 5,000, we hit 6,300 the first hour. There were over 10,000 people there tonight. My hand is sore from scooping but it was an awesome night! Great work Bill and Kevin for keeping the family business strong.

Nicholas and my grandma who is 87 years old and you would never know it.

Isaac was suppose to be helping, later I found out he ate 3 ice cream cones instead. I guess that is what I get for not feeding them dinner before.

The video from the news is on the link below for family that lives away.
