“As both a resident of Huntingdon, PA and student of Juniata College, I sought out a business idea that would provide me with an opportunity to bring a unique service to the ever needful community of Huntingdon: an ice cream truck business. JCEL offered just that, an opportunity to bring this idea, this venture, this dream to fruition. Allowing students and aspiring entrepreneurs alike to take full ownership of their business ideas, the beauty of this program is found in its ability to take students out of a text book setting and allow them to gain real hands on experience in an environment of education, support, and entrepreneurial spirit.”

Hello fellow ice cream
enthusiasts, my name is Tony Bellucci. I was born in Huntingdon,
I have lived here all my life and I will be in my third year at
Juniata College. I am extremely excited that I could be part of
Absolute Creo LLC especially since a job opportunity like this
rarely comes around. I am looking forward to serving ice cream
to the community in attempts to bring life and excitement to
this town. Working together, we can make a difference while
enjoying all the fine ice cream that AbsoluteCreo has to offer.
I look forward to meeting and delivering ice cream to all the
smiling faces of Huntingdon and it’s surrounding areas. I hope
to see all of you real soon!

Hi Everyone! My name is Jessica
Sowers and I am a student at Harrisburg Area Community College,
where I am studying dental hygiene. I graduated from Southern
Huntingdon County High School, so I am a regular local. I am
very excited to be one of only two ice cream women for Absolute
Creo. It is wonderful to be able to have this experience to get
out and meet the citizens of not only Huntingdon but all of the
surrounding areas. Aside from just meeting everyone I also
look forward to building new ice cream filled friendships with
each and every person. I love ice cream very much and I look
forward to bringing everyone the same joy that I get, from their
favorite ice cream, right to them!

Hi all! My name is Christian Prendergast and I'm
a Huntingdon native. After finishing up at Eastern University in
2005, I took off for Latin America to backpack and teach English
for about a year and a half. Now, back home and in an in-between
stage of life, when the proposition of becoming an ice cream man
and working for a long-time friend appeared, I jumped at it. I'm
very excited about this opportunity of being part of a real
community-serving endeavor and bringing smiles to people's
faces. I look forward to seeing you all this summer!

G’day
my fellow ice cream lovers! My name is Tiffany Blue and I’m
from Middle Taylor, Pennsylvania. Following graduation, I
decided that I needed to do something fun, exciting, and
somewhat adventurous and spontaneous during my transition
from being a student to an accomplished woman. Therefore,
with great aspirations and determination, I’ve become the
very first ice cream woman of Huntingdon. With your help, I
look forward to meeting, greeting, and fulfilling all of
your ice cream needs and desires, while encouraging fun,
smiles, and lots of love. Thanks heaps, and I hope to see
you all very soon!"

"Hello everyone! My name is Derek Varner. I am a student at The
University of Pittsburgh, but I was born and raised here in good
ol' Huntingdon, PA. That is why I am very excited to be
Huntingdon's newest Ice Cream Man. It is very important to me
that the young people growing up here today can appreciate all
our town has to offer, and adopt that same spirit of bettering
our community. I am positive that the ice cream trucks help to
instill this ideal, while providing some tasty treats in the
process. I really look forward to seeing everyone's smiling
faces this summer!"
