Event

115 years ago, David Strickler, a young pharmacy apprentice, put a fruity spin on the ice-cream sundae when he was tasked with inventing a new and unique dish. He split a banana lengthwise and added three scoops of ice cream, topping it with whipped cream, pineapple, chopped peanuts, and cherries. Today, the Banana Split Celebration commemorates Strickler’s invention with a day of sweet games, entertainment, and fun.
