Join us in Lancaster, PA June 24 - 26, 2010!

Plan Now to attend the 28th Annual Icescreamers Convention, to be held
June 24 - 26, 2010, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at the Best Western Eden Resort Inn.

Events begin on Thursday afternoon for members, who bring a wide variety of ice cream and soda fountain collectibles for purchase, sale and trade. They showcase their wealth of items at the Show and Sale open to the public on Friday, June 25, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. for a nominal admission fee.

Saturday's events feature popular, educational, and entertaining speakers. Past presenters have demonstrated the use of vintage soda fountain equipment, shown us how to preserve and protect paper ephemera, and entertained us with clips from vintage movies with ice cream themes.

You'll meet people of all ages from all over the United States, and from several foreign countries. Speak with our diverse family of collectors: from historic soda fountain owners to authors of books on ice cream subjects. Our Registration fees are very affordable, with our tours and evening activities available as options.
