Quotes from our customers and friends

“Arrived right on time, lights flashing, music blaring and dressed in old time shirts and ties”

“My daughter dropped her snow cone and before a single tear, a brand new one appeared in her hand, so much thanks”

“We really liked the quick service and no lines”… serving 350 children in under 20 minutes

Turkey Trot Day

Thanksgiving 2023, the whole team got together to run 3.5 miles for the Greenboro Turkey Trot.  Thank goodness the pre ran with some ice cream because Emily finished 3rd.  Dad substantially later.  It was a great time.  Only 5 months till Tilly comes out.

TILLY’S EVENTS

We have fun.  We like to see smiles.  Tilly has participated in 100’s of events from 1 to 1000.  Please see below descriptions of events.

Community Festivals

Heightscream is always on call for a festival. Just last weekend, a vendor canceled and heightscream was asked to help serve 400, no problem. We have 2 staff always on call, Tilly is ready and we had a ball. Let us know and if it can be done, we would certainly like the opportunity. Thank you very much.

Children or Adult Parties

Tilly loves Parties. From Newborns to 107th Birthday parties. She is always ready to join in the celebration. The music is tradition, the lights are festive and the ice cream is always cold. A real live ice cream truck is good for any occasion.

Our ice cream truck provides treats after your religous services. Especially during the COVID crisis of 2020 with more outdoor and in car services , we are able to provide ice cream and treats to over 1000 people very quickly with up to 4 people working together. We are available on Sunday’s and Religious Holidays. Please call or email for more information.

School Events and Graduation

Nothing better than ice cream for your graduate or student. We are available for school events, graduation parties and countless academic celebrations. An Ice Cream Truck makes it 1000x more fun. We attend many elementary, middle school and high school graduations.

Dog Events… Cats too

We love animals. We have 2 dogs and 4 cats. All animals were adopted from shelters here in Portland. We have participated in the Corgi walk and numerous dog birthdays. We can serve a variety of dog friendly treats and the human friends are happy too. We consider this a win win situation.

Other Events

Tilly has been at so many events that it is hard to list them all, she is ready on a minutes notice and scheduled up to a year or two in advance. It is really a lot of fun and each event is customized . Please contact us for more information and we will be glad to work with your self or your coordinator for a great time.

     Tilly (the ice cream truck) has a colorful past.  Previously, she performed her ice cream truck duties delivering treats children everywhere, but over time she became a bit old a rusted.  Originally named “Lolli,” she was found exhausted, rusted and moss covered in a grassy field. After months of work, cleaning, painting, scrubbing and elbow-grease she was returned to her old glory.

She has canvassed Portland Heights for many years, delivering old school ice cream treats and sounding the musical hymns of the traditional music box.  In 2017, she changed hands to an equally excited and traditional ice cream family.  Enter, Christian Buchholz, quite luckily, the luckiest person in the whole world, and her daughters, Emily, Alison and Harper.  Always wanting an ice cream truck, never finding one, and now able to own, operate, drive, deliver and generally have fun doing what they wanted, it was a perfect match!

With her colorful history, a book was created, called “Lolli, the ice cream truck”.  The book is in print and contains all the history and is written for children of all ages: https://lollitheicecreamtruck.com/

Our goal for Tilly (formerly Lolli) is to create the same experience that adults had when they were a child.  The ability to hear the sounds, stare at the choices, unwrap the flavorful treat and continue to run and play.  We love seeing children outside: playing, running, hitting, climbing, smiling and enjoying the days of spring, summer and early fall.  Tilly has the ability to travel to your location, your party, your business, or any type of event.  She has music, lights and eyelashes.  Please call us, text us or send us a note.  We will schedule your event and make it the most special event possible.

Heightscream LLC staff

Our staff is comprised of the Chief Smile Maker, Christian Buchholz, and a variety of helpers.  Each one of the little ones has been rescued from various humane societies as well as the Pixie Project in Portland.
