context_page_description: House of Flavors is a manufacturer of ice cream based in Ludington, Michigan. A 1950s themed ice cream parlor is located in front of the manufacturing plant. Their signature flavor is their "Blue Moon" ice cream.
context_section_description: In June 2016, House of Flavors broke a Guinness Record. The ice cream manufacturer constructed an ice cream dessert over a half mile long on June 11, 2016. The ice cream for the dessert event was distributed along eight city blocks for 2970 feet. 
  The ice cream consisted of not only their blue moon flavor, but also a mint flavor and a vanilla flavor. It took months of planning and preparation. The dessert consisted of nine hundred gallons of ice cream, eight hundred pounds of chocolate syrup, six hundred containers of whipped cream, and some two thousand Michigan maraschino cherries. It was on Ludington's main street of Ludington Avenue from Park Ave to Harrison St. The previous world record length for an ice cream dessert was 1,957 feet (596.5 meters) set in 2015.
  The Ludington event consisted of thousands people who consumed the ice cream from some 18,000 cups. It took fifteen-hundred volunteers to actually make the dessert and hand it out. Some event promoters were in period costumes with one being a professional pirate performer. The House of Flavors had to follow certain guidelines to qualify for the world record. The Guinness World Record authorities did not send an official to certify the event, but instead there was a group of engineers and officials that oversaw that the guidelines were followed. All the documentation of the event will be sent to Guinness for certification said Barry Neil, the present owner of the business. Neil hopes to get an official answer back from Guinness sometime in the next few weeks if they qualified to break the existing record. It was known as an official Guinness World Record on October 19, 2016.
