Here we are- Memorial Day Weekend- the Summer starts and we are once again, challenging “Out Chicago” to an Ice Cream contest. We met today at our favorite “sweet shop” in Chicago- Windy City Sweets and our host John Manchester “The Candy Man” ( who also took the photos), allowed each of us to make our selection- to avoid problems, we agreed to eliminate Chocolate and Vanilla as flavors.
From this day forward until September 21st, 2025, every time one of these flavors are purchased, 25 cents per scoop served will be put into a special fund to be presented to Special Gifts Theatre to insure that every potential performer has the opportunity to “Dream- Believe and Achieve!
