Ice Cream Barge

[Wolfeboro_Baja]

Thanks, codeman, for the name of the older ice cream boat, S.S. Creamer! I remember seeing that one a few years back now. Saw them at Braun Bay and the sandbar outside West Alton Marina. They had great ice cream (from the Sandwich Creamery, I think?)!

I wonder if the new ice cream boat owner considered dry ice to keep the product cold? I'm pretty sure it would work but I have no idea how it would compare in cost to buying a generator and feeding it.

I don't think I've ever seen the ice cream boat and don't remember the S.S. Creamer.

Now, my diet is, of medical necessity, restricted to non-chocolate anythings—so vanilla became my specialty. (Not a bad "diet", at all!)

A new forum member gave me a container of vanilla ice cream from the Sandwich Creamery. Yummy!

The best around, and I know some.

That little Honda won't cost much to run. Probably a gallon a day at most. Certainly less than dealing with dry ice.

The ice cream man's family has a house on an island and on the mainland. Last year one night when the ice cream boat was parked on the mainland someone cut the wiring on the compressor's and stole them. What a JERK and THIEF!

The correct name is.....The Ice Cream Float! it's a play on words...

He usually stops by the dock of our place in Moultonborough, and all the kids love it! A few weeks ago when I was up there, my hubby and I decided on ice cream for lunch - yummo I got a Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia bar - I think it was $5.00 - not bad at all when you consider how convenient it is. He always does a great job docking too, even with all the kids running down the dock toward him

This is the old drink hut barge from 1988 or 89. Mom found the picture, she says it's Braun Bay.

We flagged him down coming by Mark last Saturday. He pulled up to the dock and again saved me a trip to Paugus Bay. This guy has impeccable timing!
