Imagine a dream job that entails traveling around Pennsylvania -- eating ice cream – and getting paid for it.

It will become a reality for someone.

The American Dairy Association North East is looking to identify their first ever honorary "Chief Ice Cream Officer" to visit creameries and dairy farms throughout Pennsylvania in July – National Ice Cream Month. The person selected will vlog about their experiences, document their journey and create content for social media. And they’ll earn $5,000 for their efforts.

To talk about the Ice Cream Roads Trip on The Spark Wednesday was Patrick Carney, Vice President, Marketing and Digital Strategy with the American Dairy Association North East,"It's the greatest job I've ever heard of, right? I get to go around Pennsylvania, eat ice cream for just a couple of weeks, make $5,000. And we've had so many people already applying. I think the person that we will ultimately bring on board is going to have a mixture of creativity, originality, and of course, a love of ice cream and adventure, because going all around Pennsylvania and getting to go on actual dairy farms all over the state is going to be a lot of fun. And we want somebody who's really enthusiastic about dairy and really loves ice cream."

Carney indicated about 20 dairy farms and creameries are being identified throughout the state.

He said the Chief Ice Cream Officer would have choices as to what they like and what flavors to sample,"We want them to have fun so they'll pick whatever they want to do, whatever flavor that suits them. What's really cool is that there are so many great dairy farms in Pennsylvania that have these creameries, and a lot of them have fun, unique flavors that are unique to their farm and their creamery, and not always the flavors that we enjoy from the grocery store or our local ice cream parlor. So really getting a taste of the local ice cream is going to be great. Whether they want to try samples of a lot of flavors stick to one flavor at each farm. We're going to let them choose and really just talk about the experience."
