問題詳情：

At first, Rhonda Tormaschy thought her 16-year-old daughter, Cassidy, was joking about opening up an ice cream truck. “We were sitting around one night with her and one of her friends and this is what she approached us with and we kind of thought she wasn’t serious at first,” Rhonda said.

But last fall her husband, Chad, started looking for some type of truck, and they found an old school bus in Lincoln, Oregon.

The family spent the winter fixing the bus, painting it and transforming it into Ice Cream Express. In order to turn the small, old school bus into an ice cream truck, the family put in a freezer, fridge and sink.

“Getting it together was kind of an experience for all of us,” Rhonda said. “We had to go through the health inspector, we had to get signatures from the police department and the fire department.”

“The community needed something to lighten up their day and make their day better,” Cassidy said. “I thought that this would be a good way to help everybody through their day.”

She visits local businesses at a set time every Thursday and plans to hit up neighborhoods and parks in the evening, as well as serving ice cream at other summer events.

 Ice Cream Express serves Schwan’s products. “It’s quite a variety,” Cassidy said. “We have everything from the sundae cones to the sandwiches and Italian ice-just about anything.”

Now that the truck is up and running, Cassidy hopes her younger sisters will take it over when she leaves for college.

“We have a daughter that’s going to be 13 here and that would be a perfect time for her to take it over in the next couple of years-if she wants to,” Rhonda said. “If she doesn’t want to , I think I would probably continue it if it’s still a want and a need in Dickinson.”

So far, the reception to Ice Cream Express has been amazing, Rhonda said.

“We haven’t had an ice cream bus in this town for years,” Rhonda said. “I think it’s gone over way better than we anticipated it to, which is great.”
