Guests received a scoop of Fresh Frozen Custard for a $1 donation to FFA or other local agricultural organizations.
“Our guests appreciate the hard work farmers put into producing our nation’s food as much as we do,” said David Stidham, vice president of marketing for Culver’s. “We’re glad to be able to set aside a day when the entire Culver’s community can show their gratitude and make a contribution to support the next generation of farmers.”
