CHAMBERSBURG, PA – More than 1,300 people will gather at Chambersburg Area Senior High School (CASHS) on Saturday, July 13 for Scoop-a-Palooza to sample delicious ice cream and vote for their favorites.

“Scoop-a-Palooza is a community favorite, and we are excited to have live entertainment, kids’ activities and of course – an endless supply of ice cream during the event,” said Virginia Harriger, executive director of the Greater Chambersburg Chamber Foundation. “We appreciate the support of the sponsors, ice cream vendors, volunteers and community members; please join us on July 13!”
