Everybody likes ice cream!

What could make it better? How about the Springfield Municipal Band!



So where might one find such a combination? Ice cream, along with cake, hot dogs, and brats can all be found at the Brinkerhoff Home Ice Cream Social on Friday, July 13th from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m.


Looks like everyone is having a good time. Join them on the lawn of the Brinkerhoff Home on the SCI campus, 1500 N 5th St. Springfield




Hope to see you all there. I'll be the one with a grey beard and a camera.

Ice cream social

The annual Brinkerhoff Ice Cream Social is less than a month away!

Be certain to put it on your calendars - Friday, July 13th from 5:30 to 8 PM on the Brinkerhoff lawn. There will be Ice Cream and Cake as the name implies but there will also be Hot dogs, brats, and drinks. So, plan to come; bring the family; step back in time to a simpler life when the ice cream social was the social event of the summer. Enjoy dinner and desert; relax and listen to the municipal band while gentle breezes rustle the leaves in the oak tree canopy above.
