From Dubois County

Happy Thursday, Reader,

I got to spend some time with Vanessa and Brian Stieneker today for a story on their new ice cream shop in Huntingburg.

I could feel the care they are putting into this new business on Fourth Street. Vanessa admitted she's a perfectionist as she described the processes involved in creating the ice cream.

Although it wasn't available to try, I'm looking forward to getting a scoop this weekend or in the very near future.

She said the butter pecan has been described by a friend as the best they have ever had. That's my pick when I go.

We also featured photos from today's shaving cream wiffleball contest at Bohnert Park. I hope you enjoy them as much as Amy did capturing them.

Have a great day.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
