Update: problem solved! We have orange sherbet again.

Well, we made it through the holiday weekend, and truly appreciate the massive turnout!

Unfortunately, our orange sherbet machine decided it needs a break, so we will not have orange sherbet or Dream available this evening.

The mechanic is coming first thing tomorrow morning. I will update as soon as we figure out the issue.
