Moosetracks Ice Cream and Eatery opens on Route 61

STRONG — A unique machine featuring pink, purple and chocolate sprinkles demands attention inside Moosetracks Ice Cream and Eatery along Route 61, between Kulpmont and Mount Carmel.
The sprinkle machine was ordered from Texas, and its new owner thinks it might be one of the biggest in the world.
The restaurant, which opened Aug. 1, boasts 100 flavors of soft and hard ice cream.
While sitting at a caf�-style wrought iron table, customers can order a sweet treat, a “famous” double cheeseburger, or a smoked pulled pork sandwich. One can also try fresh cut french fries and other assorted fried items.
Opening the restaurant was a dream come true for its owners, Tina and Ernie Delbo.
The Delbos have always wanted to open a place like this, said daughter-in-law Jennifer Delbo, who added the business is run by family.
Jennifer Delbo said the restaurant is affordable for families, with a small premium ice cream priced at $1.75, plus tax. In the future, the restaurant hopes to offer Mauer’s Dairy ice cream in addition to the Hershey’s Gold and Leibey’s brands they already sell.
“This is something the area needed,” Jennifer Delbo said Friday afternoon.
Shrouded in the blue neon lights outside the restaurant, she talked about the future of Moosetracks.
For $5 a plate, cookout-style food will be served at the venue after Mount Carmel Area football games. A grand opening slated for Sept. 13 is called “Cruise Night” and will feature music from D.J. Johnny B.
Moosetracks is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 2 to 10 p.m. Sunday.
In addition to the sweet and salty treats offered by Moosetracks, the Kulpmont Farm and Craft Market, located in a lot next to the restaurant, offers wares from household goods to baskets of tomatoes.
The idea, thought up by Joe Remash, is to get the community together. The Delbos own the land and excavated it in hopes of doing something for the community.
Remash, of Atlas, said with the great location along Route 61, he hopes to get more people registered to sell items.
Spots at the farmer’s market can be purchased for $1 a day. Interested merchants can set up a table and sell goods from 10 a.m. to sundown, seven days a week, weather permitting.
