Volunteers needed for the Ice Cream Social Sunday June 7th, 2009 in Wilber Park. Call Andrea at 433-0160 if you want to scoop ice cream, set up before, pick up after, or do children's activities during the event, which runs from 1-5pm. The Daily Star is generously sponsoring this free event!
I must mention http://blog.orselli.net/ (Exibitricks) for sharing the great advice and ideas with us. And enough can't be said for The Daily Star, who is generously sponsoring the ice cream social next Sunday, June 7th (1-5pm in Oneonta's Wilber Park). All the ice cream you could want, all for free, plus family friendly entertainment: The Utica Zoomobile, The Farmer's Museum (children's games), entertainment throughtout the day by various local groups, storytelling, remote control aircraft... I could go on.
I also need to thank my husband, Tom Pondolfino, for doing all the cutting and sanding. The only problem with the playset? It's a little hard to get the pvc pipe stuck into the mat, but then, it needs to stay stuck so no way around that. And my son decided that he wants one of his own!!!
