Last Call to Win a Year of Free Farrell’s Ice Cream and an Autographed Angels Baseball

Mission Viejo, CA, July 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Farrell’s will crown America’s 2011 fastest Ice Cream eaters this Summer at its 2nd Annual Splendiferously Superiffic Summer Spectacular Ice Cream Eating Challenge Championship Event on July 17th, but to make it there you have to qualify first. Last call for qualifying is this weekend and to help attract more qualifiers to this charity event Angels Baseball has donated an autographed Howie Kendrick baseball for Farrell’s to give away.

Anyone can come into one of Farrell’s two Sothern California locations to try to qualify. With categories for men, women, children, teams of 4 and even a category that pairs an adult with a small child, there seems to be a category for everyone.

For $20, contestants will receive an event t-shirt, $5 coupon for a return visit to Farrell’s, an entry for a chance to win the autographed Angels baseball and a 3-scoop sundae to eat as fast as they can. The 8 fastest in each category will be invited back to the July 17th Championship event in Mission Viejo. Winners will receive a Farrell’s trophy, a year of free ice cream from Farrell’s, and the title of “Farrell’s 2011 Most Best and Fastest Ice Cream Eaters.” 100% of the proceeds from this event benefit CHOC Children’s® and the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.

So far, the top qualifying times include: Shamess Twardy in the men’s category with 35 second. Tisha Stephens in the women’s category with 55 seconds. E.J Stache for the kids clocking in at 1 minute 20 seconds. Drake and Lyle Martin in the Big and Small category at 3:37 min. And finishing off with the 4-Person Team is 3 Kids and an Old Guy with 59 sec. A special honoree mention goes to Martha Lee Scott who at the young age of 65 finished her 3-scoop sundae in 1 minute and 32 seconds currently placing her in 3rd place in the women’s category.

About Farrell’s
Started by Robert “Bob” Farrell in 1963, Farrell’s is a step back in time over 100 years to an old-time ice cream parlour. Farrell’s is known for its delicious ice cream and food concoctions, oversized portions, and rowdy but fun party atmosphere. At it’s height, Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlours had approximately 130 locations nation wide. After its sale in 1985 to an investment group, the Farrell’s concept was changed and by early 1990’s and all the Farrell’s restaurants nationwide were closed. In 2001, Orange County, CA based, Parlour Enterprises Inc revived the original Farrell’s concept envisioned by Bob Farrell and began moving ahead with the reopening Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlors. Farrell’s currently has two locations open, The Shops at Mission Viejo, 779 Shops Blvd. Mission Viejo, Ca. 92691 and in Mountasia Family Fun Center in Santa Clarita, 21516 Golden Triangle Road, Santa Clarita, Ca. 91350. Farrell’s will announce two new locations opening in 2011 soon.
