Colorado City Creamery Announces 30th Anniversary Birthday Bash

Carrie Burris, owner of the Colorado City Creamery has announced plans for a “30th Anniversary Birthday Bash” on Saturday, August 15, 2009.

“We have pulled out all the stops for this very special occasion,” said Burris. “Our family has owned the Colorado City Creamery for five years now, and we have tried hard to continue the tradition of a locally owned business featuring handmade ice cream served in a fun environment. To honor the Colorado City Creamery traditions, we have coined a new slogan, ‘Hometown, Handmade,’ which is a true reflection of what the Creamery is all about.”

The 30th Anniversary Birthday Bash will not only be a fun event, but also one that will help a very worthy cause, CHOA, Childhood Hematology Oncology Associates. From 11am-2pm on Saturday the 15th, Colorado City Creamery will donate 100% of its proceeds to CHOA; the rest of that day, in keeping with the “30th Anniversary Birthday Bash” theme, CHOA will receive 30% of all proceeds. CHOA nurses and staff will be “guest scoopers” throughout the day.

Other “Colorado City Creamery 30th Anniversary Birthday Bash” activities on Saturday, August 15 include:

-A live remote with the morning show team from 95.1 KCAT Cat Country FM from 11am-1pm. 95.1 Cat Country has been a big supporter of CHOA.

-Announcement of the winner of the “Name the Cow” contest sponsored by Colorado City Creamery. A life-size replica of a cow, the Creamery’s new “official” mascot, has been on display on the patio of the Creamery all summer long. Customers have been suggesting names and the winner will win a “Sundae Bar Party” for 30 from Colorado City Creamery. “We’ve gotten hundreds of suggestions, so many that we have added a 2nd and 3rd prize,” exclaimed Burris. Burris added, “Every day people stop to have their picture taken with our cow…she is Old Colorado City’s newest celebrity!”

-The “A Moozing” Prize Wheel will be spinning all day for prizes from Colorado City Creamery, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and other Old Colorado City businesses.

-Original Colorado City Creamery owner Bill Grimes will be on hand to scoop ice cream and talk about the “good old days” of the Creamery.

-Every 30 minutes from 11am-2pm one lucky customer celebrating “anything 30” on that day will win a free ice cream cone.

-Entertainer Skyy High Music will be on hand during the celebration with family style music and activities and the new Bubble Machine!”

-Blue Moon Ice Cream, an original recipe created for the Creamery’s 30th Anniversary will be served all weekend. The flavor will be retired at the end of summer, but will be brought back briefly in December in celebration of 2009’s TWO Blue Moon’s taking place that month.

-On Sunday, August 16th, to celebrate the Good Times Car Show in Old Colorado City, Colorado City Creamery will be giving away one free car wash per hour from 11am-5pm.
