Quote: "Ice cream, he said, is one of his biggest sellers during pageant time. Thomas said each year he stocks up, making at least two times the normal amount of fudge and candies he normally carries."

The first ice cream parlor in America opened in 1776. Washington, Jefferson and James Madison served it to guests on occasion.
