"Fan Appreciation Day at a la mode Ice Cream Parlor " - It may be 49 degrees and a bit cloudy, but it's a PERFECT day for Ice Cream at the shore - For the past ten years a la mode Ice Cream Parlor at 55th Street in Ocean City has thanked it's patrons by doling out FREE ice cream on the Saturday preceding Easter.

Already considered by many as the BEST homemade ice cream in Ocean City it always draws a crowd, even if they ARE dressed in winter jackets.

For many families it's the kick-off to the "pre-season" at the shore. Those chores around the shore house don't seem so burdensome when you know there's ice cream in the mix.

If you missed out this year be sure to add it to your 2009 calendar and stop by to say hello to Ginny, Caroline and the crew !
