A heady claim indeed. Blue Bunny Ice Cream is a major presence here. It’s a cute town with ice cream cone statues on several corners, done up in different paint schemes, decorated by local artists. The Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor & Museum is the place to be on a Saturday afternoon, there is a small museum on the second level with the history of the company, but downstairs is where the good stuff is! Pick up something from the Blue Bunny Gift Shop or enjoy an ice cream treat and bring back your receipt. I know which one I’d pick. Yum!
