Visit the Chelsea Community Fair Ice Cream Parlor

File photo by Crystal Hayduk. The ice cream parlor at the Chelsea Community Fair is a big hit.

This is the sixth year for the ice cream parlor at the 84rd Chelsea Community Fair, which takes place Aug. 23-27.

The building sits between the red barn and the gazebo just up the hill from the Main Arena.

The 20-by-20 building with two serving windows was first opened in 2016.

Neil Horning organizes and decides on the ice cream flavors. This year, there will be chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, butter pecan and Moose tracks flavors. A serving is hand scooped and served in a cup for $4.

He said milkshakes, which are made with whole milk, cost $5.

Horning orders the ice cream by the tub and about 175 tubs are consumed each year by hungry fair-goers.

The hours for the parlor are Tuesday, Aug. 23 starting at 4 p.m. until about 10 p.m. and Wednesday-Saturday, Aug. 24-27, the parlor will be open from noon until about 10 p.m.

Each year, the profits from ice cream sales go back into the community and about five different groups volunteer to man the parlor during fair.
