Making the world a happier place, one free ice cream at a time!
Ashland, Oregon (August 16, 2008)
Charter is teaming up with local businesses to bring Southern Oregonians the 5th annual Free Ice Cream Social.
The event will be held this Saturday August 16th from 3:00 - 5:00 pm at Garfield Park in Ashland.
This weekend’s event marks the return visit of the world’s most famous ice cream man, Matt Allen. In 2004 Allen,
bought his first ice cream truck and drove around Ashland, selling ice cream. At the end of the summer, however;
he had a better idea, throw a party for the town and give the ice cream away for free. Since then Ice Cream Man
has been on a mission to give away over half a million free ice creams. Now 160,000 tasty treats later Allen is well
on his way to accomplishing his goal.
The Fifth Annual FREE Ice Cream Social is made possible by the numerous companies that help keep ice cream man on
the road and the freezers full. This years event has been made possibleby Charter, LocalsGuide, Rhonda Lewis and Today’s Dentistry.
Additional Ice Cream Man support comes from Blue Bunny, Cache Agencyand Jakprints who help keep Matt and his ice cream truck touring aroundthe country.
Come down to Garfield Park located on the corner of East Main andGarfield Street. There will be plenty of free ice cream for all!
