Come to Kenny Park for the annual Ice Cream Social and Green Fair! This celebration of summer happens on Thursday, June 20, 6-8 p.m. at Kenny Park next to the playground. We hope you can make it to our favorite event of the year!
Enjoy free Sebastian Joe’s ice cream and a fabulous concert from the Crosstown Community Band. Several flavors plus a GF/DF option will be provided.
