Come join us next Sunday for the 29th annual Miss Martha’s Ice Cream Crankin’ brought to you by Purity. Eat It, Tennessee will be on hand judging the homemade ice cream entries, and you can join us in sampling all of the delicious options. See if two-time defending champion, Mary Allen can make it a three-peat. Her “Graham Ole Opry” won Best of Show in 2013 with a delicious combination of vanilla ice cream, brown sugar, caramel, peanuts, and chocolate with bits of graham cracker for good measure. Mary may just have ice cream in her veins, as both her mother, Burkley, and sister, Sara are past champions of this event.
The winner of this year’s event will have their flavor produced and sold locally by Purity for one year. Several past winner’s flavors remain in Purity’s lineup today.
Visit Martha O’Bryan online for more info and to purchase tickets.
Proceeds benefit the Martha O’Bryan Center, a community center empowering children, youth, and adults in poverty to transform their lives through work, education, employment, and fellowship. The Martha O’Bryan Center was founded in 1894 and began operating at Cayce Place in East Nashville, its current site, in 1948. The MOBC serves over 6,000 individuals every year, 40% who are 18 years and younger.
Eat It, Tennessee regularly frequents and covers East Nashville’s many independent restaurants and businesses, but there is more to East Nashville than just good food and creativity. From Martha O’Bryan online:
East Nashville is a neighborhood unlike any other in the Nashville area. With nationally recognized small businesses and restaurants, our community is a beacon of creativity, diversity, and acceptance; but ours is also a neighborhood where over 60% of high school students read on a sixth grade level or below, 9 of 10 children do not attend college, unemployment is 15% above the Davidson County average, and the drop out rate is 23% above the county average.
Buy your tickets today, then come out, enjoy some delicious homemade ice cream and don’t forget to say “hi!”
