ANSWER: This sounds lovely. When I was a youngster, our town held ice cream socials like this one. It was always a highlight of the summer in our little village. My sister and I dressed in our Sunday best even though we were prone to get dribbles of chocolate syrup on our good dresses. Have fun, everyone, and here’s to perfect weather!
