The event will be held on the back lawn of the Museum at 45 Rexford Street, Norwich. The highlight of the afternoon will be music provided by the O.V. Dixieland Band. Well-known throughout the area, the O.V. Dixieland band specializes in giving an improvisational flair to jazz standards, a style which lends itself to the outdoor setting of an Ice Cream Social. Several flavors of ice cream will be provided by Gilligan's Island in Sherburne, with cake, lemonade and iced tea offered as additional refreshments. Instead of a flat admission fee, we're selling 50 cent tickets, and each ticket can be traded for one of the many activities.
Children can also make a kaleidoscope to take home as a souvenir.
There will be a variety of items to be raffled, and a sales table of patriotically themed to give everyone a head start on their Fourth of July celebrations. For those interested in touring the Museum, guides will be available before the music starts and again during band breaks. The event will be held in the Museum if it rains.
