On Saturday sugar fanatics descended on Union Market for DC Scoop 2011, a competition featuring some of the best creameries and gelato makers in the DMV. Upon arriving each attendee received 4 free tasting tickets for their choice of samples and one ticket to vote for their favorite. Lines were long for the 14 vendors in attendance, but the team behind DC Scoop kept people entertained with music, ice cream eating contests and face painting for the kids.
