Descanso resident Julie Salmons won a Dreyer's Ice Cream block party for the town. She wrote a short essay on why Descanso was the town worthy of winning the Dreyer's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute contest. Citing the many fire fighters and forest rangers who live and work here, and the many fire scares we have had, evidently Dreyers felt our town deserved an ice cream break. Julie was chosen as the grand prize winner among thousands of entries across the nation.
The Descanso Library agreed to host Julie's party. She served the many varieties of ice cream to more than 75 local residents, including many of the volunteer fire fighters in town, scores of young children, oldsters, and even one service dog, Strider.
Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the yummy treats. The adults seemed to favor the traditional flavors like caramel swirl and pecan praline, while the kids went for "takes the cake" and cookies and cream. For more information on the Dreyer's block party giveaway, visit www. slowchurned.com
