State Fair 2024 - Bridgeman's: Lady's Slipper Marble Sundae

Friday, August 23, 2024

After the sheep barn we headed to the Bridgeman's booth. One of the new Fair foods I was wanting to try this year was the Lady Slipper Marble Sundae. The State Fair website describes it as: "Bridgeman's strawberry ice cream, lemon marshmallow cream and ladyfinger cookies layered in a cup and topped with whipped cream and a cherry." Dang it was good. Dale surprised me and got one too. 

We ate them sitting on a bench behind the horse you see above. The Bridgeman's booth is just to the left of the horse's head. We watched people and horses going by. 

State Fair 2018 (Second Visit) - Bridgeman's

Sunday, September 2, 2018

I had a chance to try the Bridgeman's ice cream sundae I read about on Facebook just prior to the opening of the fair. The description is as follows:

"We are excited to have been approved to add a new sundae to our menu at the Minnesota State Fair! Introducing our Campfire Marble...9 layers of chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce and whip cream topped off with crushed graham cracker and mini marshmallows! Who is going to stop by and try one? You can find us on the corner of Judson and Liggett across from the Coliseum."

The booth is near the Lee & Rose Warner Coliseum. It was fun watching the guys assemble it. They had to pass it back and forth between them as there were so many ingredients and the booth was quite small. It turned out to be rather delicious and it was fun to be back at Bridgeman's again as all of their stores in the Twin Cities are now closed. They do still make ice cream which is sold in some grocery stores and scoop shops. 

State Fair 2018 - Bridgeman's Ice Cream

Friday, August 10, 2018

Okay, there are still about a couple weeks left before the State Fair opens but I'm getting excited. Actually, I started getting excited about it in early June as school was letting out. Anyway, I saw a post for Bridgeman's ice cream on Facebook today and it looks like they have a presence at the fair. 

Here's the text of the post:

"We are excited to have been approved to add a new sundae to our menu at the Minnesota State Fair!

As a kid, Bridgeman's was my favorite ice cream parlour. You could sit down (which we often did), or you could just order cones to go at the counter (which we often did as well).  The only restaurant left is in Duluth but the ice cream is available at a number of scoop shops and grocery stores in the Twin Cities. Anyway, can't wait to try the sundae pictured above.
