Tucker's Newest Flavor -
Chocovsky's Amaretto Nut Dream!
For the third year in a row, Tucker's Ice Cream has created a special holiday ice cream flavor to help promote ACB's The Nutcracker ballet. Tucker's received over 100 creative entries and selected TWO winners. Alex Helperin entered "Chocovsky" (after Tchaikovsky, the Nutcracker composer) and Will Slayback entered "Amaretto Nut Dream." The combined name, "Chocovsky's Amaretto Nut Dream" is a delightful name for a Nutcracker-themed flavor and exactly describes the delicious ingredients! Congratulations to the winners, and drop by Tucker's soon and have a taste.

Many of these dance companies have performed in the prestigious San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. The evening was filled with gorgeous costumes, exotic music and sensational dancing! Thank you to all our participants and volunteers!
