Mt. Morris Holden Ice Cream Social set for July 3 For over 100 years, mid-summer has brought warm weather, sunshine, and Mt. Morris’s Ice Cream Social. Ice cream, served with the finest homemade pies, has brought together the rural community of farmers and more recently, vacationers, for an evening of fellowship and fun. Early ice cream socials served fresh ice cream that used cream from local farmers and many hours of “manpower” to turn the churns. Now, the ice cream may be “store bought” but the tradition is still as rich. Church women (and men) craft some of the most delicious homemade pies to serve with the ice cream. A light lunch of sandwiches accompanies the pie and ice cream choices for a truly wonderful eating experience. The only challenge to the social goers is choosing which pie to eat. Stop by Mount Morris Holden Lutheran Church, N3388 State Road 152, on Thursday, July 3, 2014 from 4-7 p.m. for delicious pie, ice cream and more.
