July in Grand Bend – and a quick ice cream challenge

Posted on July 12, 2008 by warrenglenn

Did you happen to Rent a Cottage in Grand Bend Ontario last weekend? You should have! It was a perfect 28 degrees every day, giving a great escape from the humidity of the city. The fine sandy beaches were packed, the town was swarming with families and 20 something’s in their bikini fashions and pre-30 bodies and all was well.

If this was any indication of the summer still left it’s bound to be an amazing one. Check out some photos from last weekend a quick ice cream challenge that took place.

Keeping you safe and the boats away as always are Grand Bend’s best. Wearing Tommy these days…who knew?

Ice Cream Challenge
The ice cream challenge was tough because it was hard ice cream vs. soft ice cream, which really isn’t fair to compare. We tried to go to Dutch Boy…but who knew the Boy is gone and Frosty has moved in! Well frosty feels a lot like the dutch boy and the ice cream was great. Between us we had Bubble Gum (the traditional Blue one with real chunks), Cookie Dough & Birthday Cake. Sure the purists say those may not be the most ‘true’ flavours, but it’s 2008, it is what it is, and that was delicious!

Wait a sec...you're not Dutch Boy. But you are quite tasty...

The Dairy Dip of course is a Grand Bend institution. But we usually go for soft ice cream here. Do you want it mixed, swooped with Caramel or Chocolate or maybe sprinkled with delicious flakes? Not for me, on this front I’m a Vanilla purist. I boycott the Dairy Queen across the street because Dairy Dip has been here for 48 years and i’m hoping 48 more. For soft ice cream it can’t be beat, so stay true and support the classic Grand Bend summer day treat…it’s tough to beat.
