Velvet Plans Celebration for Father's Day

Utica, Ohio (June 9, 2011) – Dads will be treated like kings at Velvet Ice Cream's Ye Olde' Mill Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor on Father's Day, Sunday, June 19.

Velvet will provide a photographer to take a free keepsake photograph of all dads and their families.

Dad can feast on a Father's Day special of sauteed chicken with corn and side salad for just $7.99, and a creamy, old-fashioned root beer float for $1.99.

After dinner, dad can relax on the patio and watch the Harmony Line Dancers from 2-4 p.m. and enjoy an old-fashioned, horse-drawn carriage ride. Dads also can enjoy fishing in Velvet's catch-and-release pond or take a walk on the nature trail.
