It’s a beautiful week for enjoying the numerous playgrounds and parks throughout Decorah, and for getting a little messy while playing in the dirt before the sun (quickly) sets after school. Speaking of playing in the dirt...before you head home to clean up, stop by Sugar Bowl so your kiddo can create their own Dirt Cup Sundae, with a twist! Add Oreos and Gummy Bears to any flavor (and perhaps whipped cream too!) and you’re bound to create a core memory this week. We highly recommend. ME WANT COOKIE: Sugar cookie ice cream in a natural blue hue, packed with Oreos and cookie dough.

Not feeling nostalgic enough for a Dirt Cup Sundae? Enjoy this flavor in a flavored waffle cone or flight so you can enjoy 4, 6, or 12 flavors before they run out this season.

Reminder our FINAL HOURS of the season are:
Tuesday-Friday 12pm-9pm
Saturday (Hallowen): 12pm-4pm
Sunday: 12pm-9pm

FRIDAY & SATURDAY November 6 & 7 12pm-5pm

The first true sign of the end of the season drawing near is here. The Parklet has been stored away for the winter months, 😭 but inside the shop we are still prepped and ready to make more memories with you before closing for the season. ☀️The sunshine is definitely giving off ice cream vibes today so come visit us before the season and warm temps disappear into the Winter months.

🚨October 22-30: 12pm-9pm
🎃October 31 12pm-4pm (Happy Trick or Treating!)

🚨LAST FULL DAY🚨

This Just Got Serious, the final countdown is on. 😭 We’re in the final month of our 10th season with you but there are still a lot of flavors to try, and combinations to be had! It’s time to go for the flight! Every Friday we offer $2 off a 4, 6 or 12 flavor flight. (Friday night flights… What happens at flight club stays in flight club.)
When you can’t decide on just one flavor, but a double or triple seems like too much to take on, a four flavor flight is the perfect solution! Pictured here:
This Just Got Serious
Cherry Chocolate Chip
Me Want Cookie
Espresso Almond Fudge

We’ve heard one of these flavors has become a new fan favorite. If your 2026 favorite flavor is in this group, which one is it?

When it comes to Fall flavors, which one of these describes you best? Team:
A: Caramel Apple pie
B: Snap-O-Lantern
C: I’ll stick to my personal favorite
D: As long as there is ice cream involved I’m happy!

The countdown is on for the final few weeks of the season. Regardless of what flavor(s) is calling your name, be sure to get it on your fall to-do list before our final day of the season.

With it being our 10th year with all of you, our final date is still to be determined, but we are leaning heavily toward November 8…pending no early snowstorms in the forecast. Call us crazy but you know it’s happened before!

HAPPY HOMECOMING NORSE! You can find these Luther Alumni surrounded by current Luther students at the homecoming carnival! Whether or not you are attending the game today, make the carnival a part of your homecoming plans. Norse athletics have the grill fired up, numerous clubs have games, prizes, and informational booths waiting for you, and yes there is even a dunk tank! Grab a scoop (or two) and find a spot to enjoy the game, the carnival and another beautiful day in the valley!

🤍💙HAPPY HOMECOMING NORSE!💙🤍

Area educators and Luther College aspiring educators this is for you! Luther Students are BACK in Decorah and last night's Activity Fair was a great kick off to the year ahead. As everyone heads to their first day of class on campus today we're looking forward to seeing those first day of school pictures just as much as your family back home.

Speaking of the first day of school...Just last week our feeds were flooded with first day photos (children and teachers alike), and we're sure this year's teachers reflected on all of the hard work it took to get to this point. Imagine how encouraging it would have been to have a working professional meet you before you had a degree in hand.
Before you student taught or had your first placement.
Someone to show first-hand that the hard work pays off.
Someone to share a success story of the student who was influenced by something you did.

This Saturday we highly encourage you to be that someone for a current Luther Student (and PS There's free ice cream involved!)

Join us THIS SATURDAY, 7:30pm at Sugar Bowl for the easiest and sweetest networking event ever.

Have a little more time on your hands? Join the students as they walk from the Union starting at 7pm.

Stay for as long as your evening allows with one goal: to build a network for these aspiring & professional educators throughout NE Iowa.

The Sweetest Detail: All professional and aspiring educators who attend will be entered to win a Sugar Bowl gift card, because life is a whole lot sweeter when we work together.

Follow Luther College Aspiring Educators and DM "Sugar Bowl stroll" for a bonus entry.
Follow Sugar Bowl for a second bonus entry.

DM with any questions.

See you Saturday!
