Cold Stone Creamery(R) is well known for offering innovative ice cream combinations of the highest quality served with enthusiasm. So this year, when it came to celebrating National Ice Cream Month with panache, Cold Stone Creamery has decided to shake things up in a big way.

Starting July 1 though July 23, dance and ice cream lovers across the country are invited to participate in the Shake It Up contest. Drawing inspiration from Cold Stone Creamery's new line of shakes and smoothies, contestants will be asked to showcase their most original "shakin' it up" dance moves in a one-minute video. Seven regional finalists will then be flown to New York City New York City: see New York, city.

"Of course I've always loved National Ice Cream Month, but this year I'm really looking forward to all the exciting initiatives Cold Stone Creamery has to offer," remarked Ray Karam, Cold Stone Creamery's Tastemaster(TM). "Creating these new shake and smoothie recipes was a really fun process; we already have top-notch ingredients in the stores -- it was just a matter of adding a few enhancements and blending flavor combinations. Shakes and smoothies have been around for a long time, but I think people will be surprised by the unrivaled taste."

In the new shake line, the focus is on blending indulgent, rich flavor combinations resulting in thick, creamy shakes. Flavors such as Cake 'n Shake(TM), made with the famed cake batter ice cream, milk and real yellow cake pieces, and PB&C(TM), made with rich chocolate ice cream, milk and peanut butter, are sure to delight loyal Cold Stone Creamery ice cream aficionados and shake connoisseurs alike.
