No Need to Lick That Ice Cream Fast, It Won't Melt










Saturday, Jan. 23, Stillwater had an outdoor Ice Cream Social to celebrate mid-winter. The tradition has roots going back about a half-century. It was revived a few years back and visitors and locals gather in a downtown riverside park to laugh at winter.



I didn't go but my good friend Mary did and sent me the pictures. I love the child in the stroller who is bundled up like Ralphie in "The Christmas Story" with a snowsuit that looks like a form of restraint.



Minnesotans. Gotta love 'em. Who else stands around a bonfire eating ice cream in frigid conditions?
