Interesting Democrat Gazette Article

Today's Arkansas Democrat Gazette had this interesting "Remember...?" article written by Celia Storey about the history of Yarnell's Ice Cream that operated in Searcy for about 80 years.  We have a tendency to forget how many years have passed as we remember the past.  

It is nice that we can still buy Yarnell's ice cream and this humorous article spells out why we are able to do that.  Read it and smile.....as I did!  And I really like that cow that has come to Searcy, lives outside the factory, and belongs to Turkey Hill Dairy!

I have never tasted black walnut ice cream made like Yarnells. It was probably my favorite with strawberry a close second.

I worked at the factory in May of 1954 after graduation from Searcy High School.

It's always sad to see longtime historic businesses shutter in our communities.
