The ice cream, which is manufactured in Eureka, Illinois, was named the Illinois State Fair Grand Champion in the ice cream category. Koch bid $600 to win the grand prize-winning blackberry ice cream.
According to their website, Uncle Bob's Homemade Ice Cream opened on July 10, 1980, at the Heart of Illinois Fair. Uncle Bob's now has a permanent location in Eureka where fresh ice cream is made year round.
Koch plans to donate the champion ice cream to the University of Illinois Springfield to be served at a special event on campus.
The Governor’s Sale of Champions is held each year at the Illinois State Fair on Agriculture Day.
