PRESS RELEASE
“SOUTHOLD HISTORICAL
ANNUAL ICE CREAM SOCIAL APPROACHES!”
SOUTHOLD, NY. The sound of chocolate syrup
dribbling down scoops of fresh Sedutto Ice Cream is once again in the air
as the Southold Historical Society plans their annul Ice Cream Social, which
will take place on Saturday, August 7th, 2004 from 1-4 pm. The
Social will take place at the Society’s Maple Lane Museum Complex, located on
the corner of Main Road and Maple Lane, opposite the Southold Firehouse.
“The Ice Cream Social is a very popular event that is
looked forward to by every child in the community, “ stated Geoffrey
Fleming, the Society Director. Each year hundreds of scoops of ice cream are
sold at the event. The ice cream, largely from the famous Sedutto
company, is donated by the Ice Cream Cove, located on Rte 48 in Southold. “It
is absolutely wonderful to have the support of a business like the Ice Cream
Cove, it means a lot to the Society,” Fleming stated further.
Also included in the days activities will be tours of the
many historic buildings at the site, including the Pine Neck Barn and Thomas
Moore House. Children’s games, face painting, hay rides, live music, and other
demonstrations will be part of the day’s activities.
The hay ride is especially fun as a period tractor will be
pulling the massive wooden hay cart. The ride takes visitors down Maple Lane
and sometimes on the grounds of the Joost-Todd estate. It is rare opportunity
to see the giant old-growth trees which dot the beautiful waterfront property.
Grill cooked hotdogs, soda, lemonade, and specially made
baked goods will also be available. Entrance to the Social is free, but food
and games require tickets that may be purchased on the site all day long.
The rain date is August 8th.
