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.

Another successful fair
The above view was taken from the Brinkerhoff tower window. If you click on it, a very large version will fill your screen. When you are finished viewing it, simply use the back arrow on your browser to come back to this page.Stands of all types lined the walks in front of SCI and the Brinkerhoff house. I spent some time walking through the vendors but even more time taking pictures inside the house. A few of these new pictures will be featured here later in the week while the majority will be on my web site at http://www.dsdigitals.com/
They are up now! See post above.
