Hudsonville Ice Cream Headed to "Taste of Traverse City" for Labor Day Weekend

Michigan-based Hudsonville Ice Cream is making its inaugural appearance at the “Taste of Traverse City” event on Saturday, August 30 from Noon to 6pm at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa.

Chef Ray Sierengowski, Director of Product Development for Hudsonville Ice Cream, will be scooping up samples of Grand Traverse Bay Cherry Fudge and making “Bacon Maple Sundaes” with Classic Vanilla Ice Cream.

Grand Traverse Bay Cherry Fudge is inspired by the “Cherry Capital of the World” – evoking the taste of chocolate covered cherries by blending sweet chunks of cherries, creamy amaretto-flavored ice cream and a thick ripples of fudge. It’s described as “vacation in a bowl” for good reason!

“We’re very excited to have a presence this year at the Taste of Traverse City,” says Sierengowski. “It’s going to be a great way to end this Pure Michigan summer in one of the state’s top tourist cities.”

Started in 1895 as a farmers’ cooperative, the Holland-based Hudsonville Creamery & Ice Cream is the largest manufacturer of branded ice cream in Michigan. For more than 80 years, this Midwest company has been producing its creamy, delicious ice cream – using many of its original flavors, while at the same time creating refreshing new recipes inspired by the Great Lakes.
