WHEREAS, Kline’s Dairy Bar, which has delighted generations of families in Harrisonburg with its delicious ice cream, milkshakes, and sundaes, celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2018; and

WHEREAS, in 1964, Kline’s Dairy Bar moved to one of its current locations on Wolfe Street in Harrisonburg; in 1979, the business was sold to Mike Arehart, who worked with members of the Kline family to preserve their legacy of providing fresh, premium products to the community; and

WHEREAS, Kline’s Dairy Bar now has two locations in Harrisonburg, owned by Mike Arehart, and locations in Staunton and Waynesboro owned by his sister, Kim Arehart; and

WHEREAS, Kline’s Dairy Bar commemorated its 75th anniversary by offering 75-cent ice creams to customers, many of whom braved winter weather to wait in line to celebrate this beloved local institution; now, therefore, be it
