SOUTH PARIS — The Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce’s membership committee recently announced Inside Scoop as its January Business of the Month.
Owners of Inside Scoop, Veronica Poland and her husband, Shane, longed to have their own homemade ice cream shop and they did just that. Having roots under them here in the Oxford Hills, they knew they could expand onto another adventure to add to Inside Scoop. This past October they decided to add to the shop and bought the Great Northern Fudge Company that has been in business for 43 years. After many lessons from the previous owner they have mastered the recipes as made by the one and only original owner. Now you will be enjoy not only ice cream flavors but also many fudge flavors to tempt the palate.
The chamber’s Business of the Month program is designed to raise awareness and celebrate various member achievements. Each month, the chamber makes a charitable donation on behalf of the Business of the Month to the “Feeding Oxford Hills” initiative or Rightstart’s “Christmas for Kids and Teens” programs. The donation is based on at least 20 percent of the net proceeds raised during the Festival of Trees event. The January donation of $175 will be given to the Rightstart program.
Anyone in the community can nominate a business or organization through the Chamber’s website, oxfordhillsmaine.com. More information on the program can also be found on the website.
