The Epsom Historical Association Annual Ice Cream Social will be held this Sunday, July 29th at the Pavilion at Webster Park. The festivities will start promptly at 2:30 in the afternoon.... and as a special treat, the ice cream truck will arrive at 3:00

to this trivia question.

bringing us all a taste of that time in our past when the ringing of the bell on a hot day was an eagerly anticipated event. The ice cream truck is on a schedule, so plan to arrive on time to enjoy the fun.

The afternoon program will be presented by Dick Fowler and will focus on the history of the park. Billie Worth and Dick Fowler provided the research for this part of the program. Time permiting, a second program will feature a tour of the nearby Short Falls Cemetery, giving its history as well as getting a first hand look at some of the old gravestones and a chance to learn about some of the early families of Epsom.

As always, bring a lawn chair!! See you there.
