Every loves ice cream, there's nothing new about that! But what about a few new ideas on how to serve it?! Haven't made homemade ice cream in a while...now the perfect time to break out that old ice cream maker stored away in the attic.

Nothing tastes quite as good as homemade ice cream; it's the perfect complement to you outdoor grilling.

If making ice cream from scratch isn't your bag, set up an ice cream bar. Get a large metal tub and fill it with ice. Place a few small cartons of ice cream in the tub. Small cartons work best because they will be used quickly. Store extras in the freezer and replenish when necessary.

Provide cups and spoons and an ice cream scoop of course. Now comes the fun part: In either bowls or glass jars, supply sprinkles, crushed oreo cookies, nuts, m and m's or whatever else you can think of for a fantastic ice cream bar. Be sure to provide spoons or a scooper. Everyone will enjoy how pretty the ice cream fixing look. And, who doesn't love ice cream with extra sprinkles?!

Presidents Party

Have guests come as a President, Congressmen or Women, President's wife, General or other US historical figure. Full attire isn't necessary, just a token of the President will do, such as a button, a sticker, a hat...whatever.

What's interesting about the party is who guests choose to be; it's a great conversation starter and it brings a sense of history (and humor) to your Fourth of July party ideas.
