July 19, 2019

Scoop-a-Palooza witnessed a record-breaking crowd of 1,600 people on Saturday during the all-you-can-eat ice cream festival at Chambersburg Area Senior High School (CASHS).

Festival goers sampled delicious ice cream from local vendors and voted for their favorites. Ice cream was donated by Hoover’s Grill & Ice Cream, Meadows Frozen Custard of Chambersburg, Milton Hershey School – Spartan Ice Cream, Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard, Trickling Springs Creamery and Windy Knoll Farm Market & Creamery.

Scoop-a-Palooza, sponsored by ACNB Bank, is an ice cream lover's dream on a hot July day. The event is the Greater Chambersburg Chamber Foundation’s signature fundraiser and raises money for their educational programming in Franklin County.
