Occupational Development Center (ODC) of Lancaster will host its annual Food Truck Fest on June 6 at Stauffer Park, featuring more than 17 food trucks offering cuisine such as wood-fired pizza, gourmet cupcakes, authentic Mexican cuisine, barbecue, cheesesteaks and much more. Beyond food, the festival will offer a kids zone, games, a touch-a-truck experience and more. The event will benefit ODC's mission of supporting Lancaster County adults with developmental disabilities, as well as the Manheim Township Recreation Department.

"The best thing about the festival is seeing people discover their new favorite foods and their new favorite food trucks," said Ken Mueller, the public relations and development manager for ODC. "Some people know exactly which trucks they want to go to, while others will spend a lot of time trying something new, based on what they hear people saying about the different trucks as they walk around. It creates a real sense of community, with great food at the center of it all."

With just 16 days to go until the 8th Annual ODC Food Truck Fest at Stauffer Park its time to turn our attention to something on the sweeter side: Ice cream!

They've been with us since almost the beginning, and Lickity Split Ice Cream Truck is definitely a must stop, especiallty on a hot day. Incredible ice cream, drinks, and acai bowls! We've found that it's a good idea to shift from savory to sweet, back to savory, more sweet...and repeat! So Lickity Split is a great in-between stop.

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

And we'll see you at Stauffer Park on Saturday, June 6 from 11am to 4pm. From you to your kids and your dogs, we have something for everyone!
