5th Annual National Ice Cream Day

Some of you know I do an annual Ice Cream Crawl with my friends on National Ice Cream Day (7-21-24 this year). It is the 3rd Sunday in July (Thanks to Ronald Reagan.) This year, for awards for making it to at least 6 of the 10 ice cream shops we will hit that day, I made these tokens.
On medium acrylic, ( I am using red or blue this year), set the rectangle to CUT, the circles to SCORE, the 5 and the date to ENGRAVE. Set the ice cream cone to IGNORE.
Run the print, and then carefully, without moving the original material, remove the cut rectangle and turn it over and reinsert it in the hole made. (What you have previously done should still be right side up on the back side of your rectangle.)
Then set the rectangle to IGNORE, the circles to CUT, the 5 and date to IGNORE, and the ice cream cone to ENGRAVE.

When you are done, you should have 24 prizes to share with your ice cream fanatic friends. Of course, you can change the 5 and the date and start your own annual event. Enjoy a cone.

Twinkle kote

Garbage can (vanilla with 5 different candy bar bits)

Amaretto cherry with chocolate syrup (my personal fave of the day)

Different amaretto cherry for comparison

Sweet cream and Oreo cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles

Strawberry (and a burger to soak up some of the dairy)

Pistachio gelato to round out the night.

Which is your favorite?

Also, there was a stop at a friends house where we sampled 7 different flavors.
Another successful year. This time, only 24 people were awarded for participating at at least 4 stops, and only 5 gained Abomination status by completing all 10.

For some reason, it doesn’t like the Marigold Creamsicle, Triple Mango picture. But it was among the top contenders.

Instead, here’s a pic of me very early in the day.

Based on nothing but pictures I have to agree that the cherry with chocolate is FTW!
