Congratulations to the Kaysville Creamery for winning the “Main Street Parade Champion” award for their 2024 Kaysville Independence Day Parade float. The float creatively recreated an iconic scene from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

The “Main Street Parade Champion” trophy is a traveling award, passed on each year to a new winner. Currently, the trophy is displayed at The Kaysville Creamery, located at 1 North Main. They’ve expressed their excitement for next year’s parade and are eager to defend their title.

The Kaysville Creamery opened on Main Street in May 2022. Local businessman Dallas Hamblin and his wife Sarah took about three months to renovate the former office space into a proper space to sell ice cream, and made their dream a reality to open a destination gem on Historical Main Street. Their dream included selling BYU Creamery flavors and originally the Creamery only offered BYU Creamery ice cream, but their turnover was so great that BYU could hardly keep up and they kept running low on flavors. Hamblin investigated Utah State University Aggie Ice Cream and he now caters to fans of both colleges and ice cream flavors. “There are typically 16 rotating flavors offered at one time and about 50 flavors total,” he said.

Crowd favorites include the BYU Grand Canyon (graham cracker ice cream, graham cracker swirl, and chocolate covered honeycomb) as well as Coconut Joy (Coconut ice cream, chocolate swirl, and roasted almonds), and True Aggie Night (vanilla ice cream swirled with raspberry and dark chocolate raspberry filled hearts).

Hours are Monday through Thursday, 4  to 10 p.m., Friday 4 to 11 p.m. and Saturday from 12 to 11 p.m. closed Sunday. “Word of mouth and locals have really promoted the location,” Hamblin said. “Business might be slow during the day, but often there are lines out the door in the evenings.”

Having owned and operated Hamblin Insurance & Financial Services, Dallas Hamblin is no stranger to entrepreneurship. He and his wife, Sarah, and their three children have lived in Kaysville for years. λ
