            RECOGNIZING 50 YEARS OF SERVICE AT DAIRY KASTLE

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. MORGAN McGARVEY

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 6, 2026

  Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Dairy 
Kastle, a beloved Louisville institution, and in celebration of its 
fiftieth anniversary.
  From its origins as a modest walk-up counter converted from a gas 
station, Dairy Kastle has been a fixture of Louisville summers for five 
decades. Generations of Louisvillians have grown up on its soft serve 
ice cream and ``flurries,'' and the same kids who lined up around the 
block for ice cream four decades ago, now bring their own children and 
grandchildren to enjoy snacks and treats from that same curious little 
building.
  Dairy Kastle remains, at heart, a family-owned neighborhood spot. It 
is exactly the kind of small, independent business that gives a 
neighborhood its character, a family enterprise that has earned its 
customers' loyalty one cone and one chili dog at a time. Dairy Kastle 
has weathered decades of changing times, a pandemic, and the ordinary 
churn of small business in America without losing what makes it 
special: it's a place where the line moves quickly, the service is 
friendly, and the prices stay within reach of a working family's 
budget.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Dairy 
Kastle's fifty years of service and in wishing its owners, Kevin and 
Daniela Trice, continued success for many summers to come.
