A melting icecream on a summer's day in Dannevirke was simply the best when scooped by John (Tonka) Turner and his team at the Tinkerbell Dairy on High St.
But now, after 29 years in business, Tonka has closed the doors on the iconic dairy.
For many in Dannevirke, the Tinkerbell was the place to go for the best and biggest cone icecreams and tasty mince pies.
Trevor Bennett was a Tinkerbell customer for 50 years.
"Ever since I came back to Dannevirke in 1966 as a 19-year-old, the Tinkerbell has been part of my life," he said.
