LANSING, Ill. (May 28, 2023) – Although Mayor Norm Abbott has been out of office since 2017, he still enjoys supporting Lansing businesses and touching base with the owners. During a recent visit to Gayety’s, he ordered two scoops of ice cream and agreed to make one of them a Journal Java Chip.

Thank you, Norm Abbott!

Anytime you buy Journal Java Chip at Gayety’s Ice Cream, they will donate a portion of the proceeds to The Lansing Journal. It’s a delicious way to support two local businesses.

And anytime you take your photo with Journal Java Chip or next to one of the three Journal Java Chip posters at Gayety’s, we’ll publish it as part of our Journal Journeys feature. Bonus points if you get the ice cream and the poster in the same photo!
