For the second time in as many years, entrepreneur Barry Schlecker has resurrected a beloved Delaware tradition after it had been left for dead.
Following the immediate success of his newly refurbished Brandywine Festival of the Arts, which made its own comeback in 2010 after being canceled the year before by previous owners, Schlecker is at it again this weekend.
New Castle County’s annual Ice Cream Festival at Rockwood Park near Penny Hill, which was a casualty of county budget cuts in 2007, is back with a new name, a new look and more ice cream, food and drink options than ever before.
Schlecker’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Festival at Rockwood Park will be unveiled 11 a.m. Saturday and close 5 p.m. Sunday on the lush, green grounds of the park at 610 Shipley Road in Bellevue.
