Program Description

Event Details

Ages 6 & Up: Today, you can walk into any grocery store or gas station and grab a tasty frozen treat, but ice cream used to be a rare luxury reserved for wealthy households because of the labor and time it took to create a single batch. That changed when two African American innovators reshaped how this dessert was produced and served. See how their ideas still show up in every cone you enjoy as you mix, chill, and scoop your own ice cream.
