Ice Cream Blogging
You never know what you’re going to find when you’re Googling around. Like this story I just posted on World Dairy Diary. It’s your basic neat promotional story about an ice cream and a football team. But as I was looking at the Turkey Hill Dairy website I discovered they have a blog.
