THE ORIGINAL RAINBOW ICE CREAM CONE
In 1927 two brothers, Barney and Jim Davis, hammered together a few boards to make a concession stand -- and started selling ice cream at the Minnesota State Fair. They sold chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Each day they ran out of one flavor or the other. So, they asked a friend at Northland Ice Cream if he could make an ice cream combining all three flavors together. TA DA! The birth of “Rainbow Ice Cream” at the Minnesota State Fair.

Back by popular demand again in 2017, our Bacon Ice Cream
…candied & cooked bacon, in a delicious maple base. Our team of researchers has been on the hunt to find the perfect combination of sweet, savory and salty. After stumbling on the idea of combining our favorite foods, bacon and ice cream, we have spent months perfecting the recipe. Our deliciously smooth ice cream, with a touch of maple flavor, is perfectly blended with cooked and candied bacon and served in a waffle bowl. You can find bacon ice cream at the Rainbow Ice Cream stands located near the entrance to the Midway, on the west side of Kiddie Land, at the intersection of Dan Patch and Underwood and underneath the Grandstand Ramp. |
