Ice Cream Day

On Sunday, July 19th, we volunteered at an event called the National Ice Cream Day at our very own Stonewall Farm. Although the event was called N.I.C.D., there was no activity or anything (besides the ice cream stand that’s always there) pertaining ice cream. The farm, however, did a great job of using the day to attract customers (They also advertised this event on the local radio!). There were a lot of parents with their kids that came to visit and they seemed like they were enjoying the beautiful day as much as we were. So if there were not many activities to do, what did we end up doing? As volunteers, we cruised around the farm giving out chicken and sheep feed to the visitors, worked hard under the blazing sun to scoop dripping deliciousness onto cones or dishes (sometimes we had to use both since it was such a brilliant day out and the ice cream was kind of no longer solid), take a few bucks from the citizens, and finally become consumers of melted ice cream soup (Hey, why let the remnants of heavenly and locally made dairy products go to waste?). All in all, it was a good time, and I must say that I feel bad for the people who missed out, I’m sure they would have enjoyed it a great deal.
