The Fifth Generation Ice Cream Company From Maine Announces First-Ever Great Summer Ice Cream Giveaway

Skowhegan, Maine—June 14, 2016 — Gifford’s Famous Ice Cream, world-class ice cream from a small town in Maine, announced today that it is launching a summer-long “invasion” into Massachusetts’ South Shore, Cape Cod, and the Islands and plans to give away a ton of free ice cream. The company’s Great Summer Ice Cream Giveaway will run for six weeks beginning on June 24th and ending on August 5 and includes a network of partner stands and retailers in the Cape Cod area. Each week of the six-week contest, Gifford’s will give away up to 100 quarts of FREE ice cream.

“We’re a fifth generation ice cream family that believes people deserve a fun escape from the everyday,” said Samantha Gifford, the company’s marketing director. “Maine has long been a favorite summer destination – so we decided to launch a counter-invasion this summer, bringing boatloads of world-class ice cream to the great people of Massachusetts.”

On June 24, the Gifford’s Great Summer Ice Cream Giveaway will begin at 21 partner stands across South Shore, Cape Cod and the Islands. Participating in the contest is easy. For six straight weeks, simply visit a stand, order an ice cream, snap an “ice cream selfie,” and post it on Instagram using the #GotMyGiffords. Each week, up to 100 winners will be selected to win a full quart of FREE Gifford’s ice cream. By the end of the contest, Gifford’s plans to give away up to 600 quarts (or 4,800 ½-cup servings) of its premium ice cream.

“It’s always such a thrill for our family and employees to see fun pictures of people enjoying our ice cream,” said Gifford. “We can’t wait to see all the incredible images from this summer.”
