Saturday April 21 Schoep’s Ice Cream: Making History in Scoops, Pints, and Gallons
Posted by eastsidehistorymadison on April 6, 2012
Apologies for the incorrect date printed on our mailed invitation this month! We meet on Saturday, April 21, at the Goodman Community Center, 2pm.
John Thomsen (one of the third generation of owners) speaks on the history of Schoeps Ice Cream, from its humble beginning in the back room of a grocery store to a company serving 49 of the 50 states.

Here are a couple photo links:
