CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Local churches will host the sixth annual I Scream for FUEL Ice Cream Freeze-Off Saturday, Aug. 25 4-6 p.m. at Salem United Methodist Church.

The event raises much needed funds to support the FUEL program that provides non-perishable, easy to prepare food items for young children in Montgomery County Schools.

Many children rely on school breakfast and lunch for their primary meals each day. The food items supplied help to supplement them over the weekend.

Donations will be accepted at the door.

Ice cream enthusiasts will face off against each other to determine who has created the most delectable ice cream flavor. Celebrity judges will be on hand to sample the entries and determine the winners.

“Everyone can enjoy the music of The Back Lot Pickers while they sample the ice cream and help us raise funds for a great program. Snowbird will be there as well as several other characters on hand for pictures with the children,” Carol Ussery, event committee chairperson said.

The United Methodist Churches of Mt. Zion, Antioch, Marion and Salem along with the Lone Oak and Memorial Baptist churches are part of the event.
