THE COOLEST THINGS TO DO ALL SUMMER LONG, THANKS TO KILLIS

One of the best ways to beat the summer heat is with a big bowl of homemade ice cream. Even though it's a Texas tradition and a summer survival necessity, homemade ice cream has become scarce in most areas. However, in McKinney they celebrate the creamy confection every summer during the Killis Melton Ice Cream Crank-Off. As the story goes, originally the people of McKinney had a chili cook-off. However soon it was suggestion by McKinney resident Killis Melton that ice cream would be a better for for summer and the rest is history.

The Killis Melton Ice Cream Crank Off is celebrating its 13th Year. Come join in on the fun!!
