Dippin' Dots

So what exactly are Dippin' Dots? Actually, it's fun to watch "first-timers" expressions when they take their first bite. After overcoming the sight of their ice cream beads "pouring" into a cup there's the look of amazement that ice cream can be "tingly and almost crunchy" (their words!). When the smooth, creamy ice cream begins to melt in their mouth...a fan is born! It's truly a treat for kids of all ages. And finally, to answer the question, Dippin' Dots are made from fresh dairy ingredients flavored with fun, fruity, enticing and even exotic flavors. The mixture is frozen almost instantly in liquid nitrogen, a common element in the atmosphere used commercially for flash freezing.

Hoover's Concessions

Hoovers is a family built, owned and operated business that has been around since 1950.

The following year they went on to work in Zainesville at the Muskingham County Fair. We started out making and selling our fudge with not much more than a small copper kettle. Four generations later we have 35 handcrafted trailers that the Hoover family uses to produce and bring our items to you, all from our headquarters in Canfield, Ohio. Thus, becoming one of the largest, truly family built, owned and operated businesses in the showman circuit today.
