IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE BLOOMSBURG FAIR!! PLEASE SHARE! 📣📣
Buckle up, it’s long but worth the read!! ❤️
With our hometown event, The Bloomsburg Fair quickly approaching, we thought that it was time to share some bittersweet but exciting updates regarding our family business.
Bissinger’s Apple Dumplings began in 1994 as an extension of an existing family owned concession business; Ed & Dick’s Ice Cream (1961) After many years of learning from and traveling to fairs with her father, Ed; Cheri came up with the idea to serve up the family’s traditional ice cream on homemade apple dumplings. 33 years later, as a product of Cheri and her husband Kevin’s hard work and determination, we serve you the delicious apple & peach dumplings that you know us by today!
Being a concessionaire is not for the faint of heart but one thing has remained consistent throughout all the trials and successes; we are deeply rooted in our family values.
This year’s Bloomsburg Fair will look a little different as we begin the transition of bringing in the 3rd generation! While Kevin and Cheri are still vital, ever present owners of the business, they have decided that it was time to pass the torch to their son, Austin and his wife, Bryndil.
This transition will bring the closure of our stand on the amusements end of the fairgrounds as well as the kettle cooked soup stand. We’ve made these difficult decisions in order to devote our time and attention to our stand on Avenue B & 4th Street. We want to efficiently produce the same product you know and love and continue to grow the business as we step into some pretty big shoes!
We are excited to make this transition together as a family and hope to be able to serve our customers for another 30+ years!!
- The Bissinger Family 🫶
