Chicago Bears Ice Cream?

Chicago, Illinois, May 12 – Hudsonville Ice Cream is introducing a ferocious new Limited Edition flavor and needs Chicagoans to help name it.

 

Hudsonville Ice Cream is excited to team up with the Chicago Bears this season to launch the Midwest ice cream company’s newest Limited Edition flavor.  Hudsonville and the Bears are looking to the Bears’ fans- the ones that endure the cold, lose their voices after every game and the ones that cook up the snacks for their favorite Bears fans- to help name the flavor inspired by the Monsters of the Midway.

One voter for the winning flavor name will randomly be selected to win a year’s supply of free ice cream.  But don’t worry, everyone will be able to enjoy the Bears inspired flavor when it hits stores later this year.

 

Hudsonville Ice Cream offers a quarterly rotation of seasonally inspired ice creams that capture the best flavors that the Midwest has to offer.

 

“We are truly excited and honored to partner with the Bears organization.  The Bears work hard and bring Chicagoans together; their milestones have caused celebration since 1920.  At Hudsonville we feel we have many of those same qualities,” said CJ Ellens of Hudsonville Ice Cream. “The artisans at Hudsonville started making ice cream back in 1926 and we work hard every day to make the best ice cream we can.  Ice cream brings people together and helps us celebrate.”

 

Ellens said Hudsonville Ice Cream looks forward to the partnership with the Bears being unique, it will allow fans to bring the taste of their favorite team home. “What is even more exciting is that the fans have complete control over the name.  We hope everyone gets online and votes.”
