Local ice cream parlors drawing summertime crowds

By LANCE ARMSTRONG

Editor’s Note: This is the first article in a two-part series about current and past ice cream parlors in the Sacramento area.

With summer in full swing and temperatures on the rise, customers are lining up at Land Park’s Vic’s Ice Cream and other ice cream parlors around the city.

Featured in this article are Sacramento’s three large, ice cream manufacturers that offer traditional ice cream parlors, with dine-in service.

Vic’s Ice Cream Among the oldest existing parlors in the city is Vic’s Ice Cream, which has been serving its customers at 3199 Riverside Blvd. since 1947.

Craig Rutledge, whose father Ash Rutledge co-founded this business, said that Vic’s is the oldest, original family-owned ice cream parlor in Sacramento.

“My father, Ashley (“Ash”) Rutledge, and Victor Zito met during World War II,” he said. “Victor was from Sacramento and he decided to open up an ice cream parlor with my father, who was from Red Cloud, Nebraska. We’ve been operating as a family-owned business ever since.”

After serving together in the Coast Guard, Vic and Ash came to Sacramento, where they began discussing the idea of establishing a different type of business: a sporting goods store.

But it was their love for Gunther’s Quality Ice Cream on Franklin Boulevard that

led to their decision to open their own ice cream parlor.

Vic’s now historic building was constructed at a cost of $5,000, and the legacy of Vic’s Ice Cream began with its grand opening on Feb. 2, 1947.

For the majority of its years of operation, Vic’s has solely been in the ownership of the Rutledge family, since Zito died in 1966.

It was also in 1966 when Craig began working at Vic’s.

He graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in 1969 and currently owns his father’s former business.

Ash died in 2010, and although he and Vic have both passed away, their legacies remain strong through the continued operation of one of the city’s sweetest institutions: Vic’s Ice Cream.

Tyler Gilson, a manager at Vic’s, told the Land Park News last week that Vic’s offers about 40 different flavors throughout the year.

He added that the establishment has a rotation of seasonal flavors.

“We have different flavors all the time,” he said. “There’s like four or five (different flavors) every season.”

Vic’s summertime hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays.

Gunther’s Quality Ice Cream The oldest of the city’s ice cream parlors is the aforementioned Gunther’s Quality Ice Cream at 2801 Franklin Blvd.

According to information provided by the business’s current owners, Rick and Marlena Klopp, Gunther’s was opened in 1940 by German immigrant William H. “Pop” Gunther and his Kentucky-born wife, Iva Gunther.

This business is in its second location since its founding at 3003 Franklin Blvd., at 5th Avenue.

The current Gunther’s building began its operations as the new location of this business in late 1949.

This site is locally famous for both its ice cream, as well as its “Jugglin’ Joe” neon sign, which features an ice cream worker tossing a scoop of ice cream in the air and catching it in a cone.

Gunther’s currently makes more than 120 different flavors on site and offers 45 flavors every day, as well as homemade ice cream cakes and pies, fruit freezes, sandwiches and soups.

Rick Klopp’s association with Gunther’s runs so

deep that he is celebrating his own milestone.

A 1965 graduate of C.K. McClatchy High School, Rick began working for Gunther’s as its manager 50 years ago. He became the outright owner of this business in 1974.

Gunther’s website describes this establishment’s ice cream as follows: “Gunther’s Ice Cream uses the finest ingredients available, a slow, hand-controlled freezing process, and higher butterfat than commercial ice creams. The result is a richer, creamier ice cream that has made Gunther’s famous for almost 80 years.”

Dellan dela Cruz, a shift supervisor at Gunther’s, said that with warmer temperatures, lines are getting longer at this popular parlor. “ The lines keep getting longer and longer,” he said.

“Usually (lines) are fairly wrapped around the building, but now it’s even down to our neighboring church down the street. It could be almost a whole block down.

This happens every day in the summertime.”

Dela Cruz added that the place is busiest on weekdays, beginning at about 7 p.m. and on weekends, beginning at about 1 p.m. “(People will say), ‘I’ve never seen a line for ice cream this crazy in my life,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, it’s just a normal day.’” he said.

Gunther’s is open seven days per week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Leatherby’s Family Creamery

Another longtime operating ice cream parlor in the Sacramento area is the Leatherby’s Family Creamery chain, which was foundsee ICE CREAM page 3 Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

Ice Cream: continued from page 2

ed by “Daddy Dave” and “Mother Sally” Leatherby in August 1982.

Since that time, Leatherby’s, which has locations at 2333 Arden Way, 7910 Antelope Road in Citrus Heights and 8238 Laguna Blvd. in Elk Grove, has continued as a family-operated business. The Arden Way Leatherby’s was the business’s first parlor.

Jake Leatherby operates the Arden area parlor, while Matt Leatherby runs the Elk Grove location and Michael Cremmlin is in charge of the Citrus Heights parlor.

There is plenty to keep Leatherby’s customers happy from large dining rooms with murals of ice

cream specialties to friendly servers and, of course, a large menu, which includes more than 40 flavors of ice cream.

Jake provided some statistics to show the volume of products that Leatherby’s regularly uses.

“I go through about 3,000 gallons of ice cream a week between our three creameries,” he said. “With banana splits, I go through about 15,000 pounds of bananas a year (at the Arden parlor), and that’s just one store. We have three creameries, so that’s 45,000 pounds of bananas a year.”

Jake added that Leatherby’s uses a combined 45 gallons of fresh whip cream per day at its three locations.

Like Vic’s and Gunther’s, Leatherby’s takes the soda

fountain approach by offering a variety of non-ice cream food items. Those items include the popular crab sandwich and other sandwiches, hamburgers, salads and soups.

With the absence of various Sacramento ice cream parlors of the past, many Sacramentans feel fortunate that Leatherby’s and other presently operating local ice cream parlors continue to deliver quality products in family-friendly atmospheres.

And in the case of Leatherby’s, it is difficult to find a more family-oriented business than this establishment.

Since its founding, the family of “Daddy Dave” and “Mother Sally” has expanded to nearly 80 members, including more than

916.212.1881

60 grandchildren – many of whom work for the company. Dave, who died at the age of 81 last March, and Sally had 10 children.

The company’s website notes: “Our ‘extended family’ of past and present employees has grown to include cousins, aunts, nieces

|

and nephews, in-laws, many family friends, plus over 5,000 young people from the greater Sacramento area.”

Leatherby’s is open Sundays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to midnight.

What’s new at the State Fair?

Food Festival, Esports tournament to be among new attractions

By Lance Armstrong

The California State Fair will once again return to Cal Expo with a variety of new attractions for people of all ages. The event will run from July 12-28.

This year’s edition of the fair includes seven new features, including the Food Festival.

Food Festival For $28, fairgoers on July 13 can purchase a festival pass for $28.

Each pass can be redeemed for the customer’s choice of food items that will be entered into the “best-of-the-fair” competition. Each pass is good for four items.

Thirty vendors at the festival will offer items such as Grizzly Mac Attack (macaroni and cheese topped with pulled pork

and coleslaw), Cap’n Crunch chicken sliders, deep fried caramel apple pie, bacon and pecan cinnamon roll, fried banana hot dog, burnt tri-tip ends sandwich, vegan nachos and vegan Philly cheese steak.

A pass can also be used for beverages, including piña colada smoothie or green monster smoothie.

Fair spokesperson Darla Givens described the motivation behind establishing this event.

“You hear a lot of people say, ‘Oh, I go to the fair to eat the food,’” she said. “Well, we thought, ‘Why not make it a true food festival?’”

Givens referred to the festival’s offerings as “fun, new, exciting dishes.”

Those purchasing passes will save a total of $12 off the regular price of four items from these

vendors. A pass is transferable, Show, as one of the fair’s “innoso that it can be used during vative things this year.” more than one visit to the fair.

Outstanding in Their Field

Maintaining its longtime tradition of celebrating California’s agriculture, and the “crops that make it to your table,” the fair will introduce its Outstanding in Their Field exhibit.

Through special displays, the exhibit will showcase cherries, peaches, olive oil, pears and honey.

Designed as an educational exhibit, Outstanding in Their Field will provide details of what it takes to grow such crops.

Givens emphasized the importance of this exhibit.

“It goes back to our roots of agriculture (in California),” she said.

Incredible Me Exhibit The Incredible Me Exhibit is an interactive experience, in which children will have the opportunity to create their own superheroes.

Participants, 12 and younger, will have the opportunity to design their own costumes and participate in a popping dice game that selects superhero powers for them.

Givens said that the exhibit was tested out earlier this week during a pre-fair gathering.

“We had 10 children in there today and they just loved it,” she said.

Giving Mondays: Free fair admission with 3 nonperishable food items

By Monica Stark

As part of Giving Mondays, fairgoers have an opportunity for free admission on Mondays, July 15 and 22 if they bring in three nonperishable, non-expired food items between the hours of 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sponsored by the Sacramento Metropolitan Utilities Department, the food drive benefits the Elk Grove Food Bank.

According to Elk Grove Food Bank Executive Director Marie Jachino, the most need-

ed food items include canned meat (chicken or tuna) chili, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, cereal, pasta, canned fruit and veggies, Ensure and Top Ramen.

“A single can of food, may seem like a small act, but to someone in need it can be a difference between food on the table or skipping another meal. Because hunger is a year-round problem we continue to be awed by the tremendous support that no one goes hungry here in our local community,” Jachino said.

Because of the generosity of fair goers last year’s Giving Mondays collected 28,867 pounds of food for the Elk Grove Food Bank.

“Hunger doesn’t take a vacation during the summer months. This is traditionally the time of year when we experience the greatest need when children are out of school and we typically see a sharp drop in donations,” said Jachino.

SMUD spokesperson Lindsay Vanlaningham said they hope to surpass the nearly 30,000 pounds of food collect-

ed last year. With additional media pitching, Vanlaningham hopes to get the word out on this opportunity to give back.

All customers have to do is bring their donated items to the table in front of the State Fair and exchange their food items for a free ticket. Inside the main gate, SMUD will be there giving out drawstring backpacks to the first 5,000 people each day.

Separately from Giving Mondays at the fair, Vanlaningham said SMUD has a community giving campaign

whereby they give to various local nonprofits and food banks. “Employees donate their time and their money through out the year,” she said.

In expressing gratitude, Jachino said,“Elk Grove Food Bank Services would like to express deep appreciation to the California State Fair and SMUD for inviting us back again this year as a beneficiary of Giving Monday. We are extremely grateful for this partnership and to all of the fairgoers who donate.”

Arden’s Sacramento Life Center and Leatherby’s Creamery to host diaper drive Arden-Carmichael area residents can get a free scoop of ice cream at Leatherby’s Family Creamery on Arden Way on July 20 if they bring an unopened pack of diapers from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., as part of Daddy Dave’s Diaper Drive, benefiting the Sacramento Life Center in Arden. The drive, which takes place during National Ice Cream Month at all three Leatherby’s locations, will provide diapers for low-income moms in the Sacramento area and honor the life of the ice cream shop’s founder Dave Leatherby Sr. who passed away earlier this year and supported the Sacramento Life Center for decades.

“This is a really special drive, as it not only fills an important need, but honors my late father who was so beloved in this community and who had such a heart for helping low-income

pregnant women and teens in the Sacramento area,” said Marie Leatherby, executive director, Sacramento Life Center. “We hope everyone comes out on July 20 to help women in need and enjoy a free scoop of Leatherby’s ice cream in honor of my dad.”

According to The Nation, a third of American families struggle to afford enough diapers. The 2018 article quoted a study that found families would leave a child in a diaper too long, risking diaper rash and urinary tract infections, and others would bleach a wet diaper, dry it and reuse it. The Sacramento Life Center’s diaper drive will ensure that every mother who walks into its main clinic can receive free, clean diapers for her children.

The Sacramento Life Center’s mission is to offer compas-

sion, support, resources and free medical care to women and couples facing an unplanned or unsupported pregnancy. The Sacramento Life Center’s licensed Sac Valley Pregnancy Clinic includes a primary clinic and two Mobile Medical Clinics that provide all services for free, including pregnancy tests, STD tests, ultrasounds, peer counseling for men and women, education and resource referrals. In 2018, the Sacramento Life Center achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, which ensures the group has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of high-quality health care. The nonprofit also offers a school-based teen education program, a 24-hour hotline and a program for women who have experienced repro-
