Instructions for Crankin' captains

Instructions for Crankers (people making ice cream)!
The volunteers who make ice cream are the key to the continued success of the Crankin’. Heartfelt thanks for your contribution!
  • Find a favorite old recipe or create a new flavor
  • Freeze ice cream a day or two ahead of time so it will be good and frozen for the Crankin’.
  • Decide if you want to enter the contest for a chance to have your flavor produced by Purity. If so, get the registration and recipe forms from your captain or click here. Bring two (2) Contest Entry Forms completed and two (2) labeled samples of ice cream for the judges plus the ice cream you will be serving the masses.
  • Crankers receive free parking and one free ice cream ticket per family.
  • Arrive at First Presbyterian Church between 2:45-3:30 if you want to enter the contest, or by 3:30 (at the latest) if you are serving ice cream. Look for the special parking entrance on Tyne Boulevard for Crankers. Helpful volunteers will be on hand for unloading.
  • Bring a gallon (or two or three) to the Crankin’ in a cooler with ice so you can keep it frozen until you’ve given out the last scoop.
  • Set up your cooler at your church’s or business’ designated location. Tables will be set up, but you may want to bring your own chair, tablecloth, ice cream scoop, sign for your ice cream and paper towels for cleaning up. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE TABLES AROUND.
  • Do not begin serving ice cream until 4 PM sharp and remember: serve small amounts – this is a tasting.
  • Please clean up your area when your ice cream is gone.
