Harry’s Lakeside Scoops: Open For Business!
It’s been a pretty warm summer. That’s for sure. It very much brings my mind back to “the dog days of summer” of my youth.
In days past, there was no more welcome sound in the summer heat than the faint “ting-a-ling-ling” of the neighborhood friendly ice cream truck, rolling up to your block to deliver much-needed relief from the heat to children (and children at heart) of the neighborhood.
Maybe you had long known what your next frozen treat off the truck would be, or perhaps it happened to be a “gametime” decision. Your choice not only brought instant joy to your tastebuds, but clearly, forged lifetime memories that bring all of us back to a simpler time in our lives.
Woodloch is proud to bring some of that nostalgic magic back. We are proud to announce the opening of “Harry’s Lakeside Scoops,” the newest addition to our resort. Our all-new ice cream stand, nestled just between our lakefront and pool area and overlooking our historic Teahouse Dock, is open for business!
“THE SCOOP”
For the first time ever, Woodloch’s guests will be able to enjoy a pleasant array of frosty delights, including soft-serve and hard ice cream cones, homemade ice cream sandwiches, “Boomer Bites” and of course, ice cold drinks. Not to mention toppings galore- you can make your favorite sundaes! Best of all, all of the ice cream served is 100% homemade right here in our bakery. Flavors such as chocolate chip mint, cookie dough and the world-famous CRUMB CAKE ice cream will be available on demand- no need to wait for dessert!
HARRY’S LEGACY
Since Woodloch is all about tradition, our new building holds an extra special place in our hearts. “Harry’s Lakeside Scoops” is named after our patriarch and founder, Harry Kiesendahl. Long before he found himself in the resort business, Harry served as the beloved neighborhood Good Humor Ice Cream man for many years in his hometown on Long Island, New York. He later opened his own “Paradise Sweet Shop” in Huntington, New York. The shop featured homemade pies (proudly baked by the lovely Mary Kiesendahl), a wide array of goodies and of course, ice cream! Legend has it the shop had the thickest and best milkshakes in town- all served with Woodloch’s warm hospitality, while our resort was still just a proverbial twinkle in the eye!
“Uncle” Harry’s legacy of coupling enticing desserts with the Woodloch brand of hospitality we know and love makes Harry’s Lakeside Scoops a welcome addition to our resort! We look forward to bringing all sorts of frozen goodness to the shores of Lake Teedyuskung this summer- be sure to drop on by!
