Chattanooga Market’s Ice Cream Social ReturnsOne of the Most Beloved Market Events will Benefit Girls Inc. of Chattanooga |
|
PRESS RELEASE Chattanooga Market is pleased to announce the return of the popular Ice Cream Social this year, held on June 12th, 11am-4pm. The event has been on hold since 2019 due to COVID and all of the resulting effects, such as labor shortage. 2022 has a terrific line up of creameries and this year’s beneficiary and organizer is Girls Inc of Chattanooga. Taylor Hixson, Chief Development Officer at Girls Inc. of Chattanooga says, “Girls Inc. is thrilled to be the recipient organization of the Ice Cream Social and we’re beyond grateful to the local creameries who have donated their product and volunteered their time to support our mission. It’s going to be a beautiful day to come out and support local girls by eating ice cream! What a fun way to give back!” The Ice Cream Social has long been a fan favorite for Market patrons. It’s a chance to cool off with the best ice cream in our city, and all for a good cause. Folks can purchase a $5 ticket at the Market and get samples from each creamery. Each ticket also earns a chance to vote for the favorite—a bragging right that each creamery would like to hold. And because the creameries have all graciously donated their product and their staff for the event, the entire tickets sales will go directly to Girls Inc. 2022 Participating Creameries:
