Welcome to the Kent's Ice Cream, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin website. We handmake a popular ice cream product called the BIG BAR and vend them at various events in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Yes, this is still the Kent's Ice Cream that began in Fort Atkinson in 1941.

 It is not complete, but we have put some 2012 shows on the schedule page already.  It's still a long way off but we can't wait for the first event of the year.  This year, it will be the Mecum Gone Farmin' auction in Walworth, WI on April 14.  After that is the show that kicks off the car show season - Spring Jefferson Swap Meet and Car Show, April 27, 28 and 29!

Above is our latest crazy project.  We grafted the fins from a real '57 Plymouth using '58 Plymouth tail-lights to one of our vending trailers.  Our friends at French Lake Auto Parts in Annandale, MN supplied most of the parts from a car in their huge yard that was way too far gone.  Google French Lake Auto Parts to find a great salvage yard with cars going back into the 30's still in their yard.

The above photo was taken from 3D Sound's highlift at the last cruise night of the year in Fort Atkinson.  It was a 'Duesey' as we lost count as the classics arrived in a steady stream.  We are already working on plans for next year's cruise night season.  Stay tuned to our local cruise night page for details.

The above picture is our 1953 Chevrolet stepvan along side the GM Futurliner 'Parade of Progress' vehicle. The NATMUS volunteers were kind enough to let us park next to their restored feature Futurliner at Iola in 2006. Sorry it is old news, but we continue to hear from our customers that this photo is such a favorite of theirs.
