My hometown had a big homecoming this past weekend. Not like a football game homecoming. It was part of a tourism initiative that has been taking place all over the country this year.
Well, Trisha at Spirit of Athens is a genius! She had heard of a Crank Off and we all agreed that would be an awesome thing for us to do at homecoming!!
The idea is that you have booths where folks make home made ice cream. The public gets to taste all the creams and vote on the winner!! Yum!! No, double Yum!!!

So, nearly a dozen residents, business owners, and politicians signed up to participate. Blue Bell generously donated cups and spoons. The children loved it!! We had two categories in which to vote. Best Booth and Best Ice Cream. Kristi Valls won both this year.
Didn't the trophy turn out great!!???!!??? The owner of U.G. White made it for the winner!!
No joke, I think I gained 10 pounds in the 10 minutes it took me to taste all the ice cream, but it was so worth it!!!!
Thank you, Trisha!! You have done an amazing job with downtown, and the work you continue to do with Spirit of Athens is making our town the place to be.
