After a two-year hiatus, the annual Yarnell’s Ice Cream Festival is returning next month! 

• Samples: July 30th at 9a will mark the 9th annual festival, which will take place during the Bentonville Farmers Market at the Bentonville Square. There will be free samples of ice cream for everyone at the concession trailer, and photos with Scoop, Yarnell’s ice cream mascot, will also be available to attendees.
• Cold cream: The main festival event, Arkansas’ coolest ice cream eating contest dubbed “FreezeFest,” will take place every hour from 9:30a to 12:30p. Two contests are for kids, and two are for adults. The participants who eat the most in each 5-minute competition will win a year’s supply of ice cream.
