Yesterday Americans observed National Ice Cream Day, which is celebrated annually on the third Sunday in July. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan made the designation and also named July National Ice Cream Month. Our very own Penn State University is a world leader in dairy production and food science. Over the last 150 years, its Berkey Creamery has been an important Penn State landmark. Penn State has a herd of more than 200 Holsteins that are milked twice daily, which is the start of the university's delicious ice cream. The methods developed by Penn State's food and dairy scientists have made the creamery a world authority on ice cream and dairy manufacturing. Penn State's legendary short course, which takes participants from ``Cow to Cone,'' has attracted some of the biggest names in ice cream, from Baskin-Robbins to Ben & Jerry's, from Hershey's to Haagen-Dazs. For 6 days a year, industry professionals head to Happy Valley for the best-known program dealing with science and the technology of ice cream. Congratulations to Penn State for being the industry leader, and happy National Ice Cream Month. ____________________
