Our Annual Ice Cream Social and “Meet & Greet” event is just ahead, this coming Saturday, July 15th from 1:00 PM to whenever, to be held at the Clary Lake dam on the Mills Road (Route 218) in Whitefield. This year we’ll have a bunch of canopies set up so we’re not going to let an intermittent shower or two stop us from eating ice cream. In the event however that Saturday ends up torrentially rained out, we’ll postpone the event to the next day, Sunday July 16th, same time, same ice cream. This will be a great opportunity to meet some of the many new CLA members and other people on and around Clary Lake. This event is open to all, not just Clary Lake Association members. The ice cream is free but donations will be gratefully accepted!

This event is also a great opportunity to buy raffle tickets to support the Clary Lake Association’s Dam Repair Fundraising initiative! Talk about a worthwhile goal! First prize is a Masterbuilt Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker donated by Louis Doe Garden Center. There are 3 great gift certificates for runner up prizes. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. For more information about the Raffle and how/where to get tickets see the Summer 2023 Raffle page.
In addition to our regular ice cream offerings we’re going to pick up some ice cream sandwiches and a couple of boxes of creamsicles (for that trip down memory lane!) and Linda Gallion will once again be bringing a couple of buckets of her own very excellent home made ice cream (this year it’s going to be Blueberry and Strawberry). Linda and her husband Rick run the Clary Lake Bed & Breakfast. In addition to all the popular ice cream toppings, this year we’re going to have sugar cones which I have it on good authority are the environmentally friendly way to eat ice cream 🙂
Plan on coming and staying a while. There will be tables and chairs set up so you can sit and linger with friends, awnings to get out of the sun, and water to keep you hydrated… and most importantly—plenty of ice cream! There is also ample parking and you can always come by boat, kayak, or canoe. We hope to see you there!!
We’ve added this event to our Events Calendar and here’s a link to add it to your calendar. We’re posting about it early because summer is short and weekends fill up fast! We’ll post a reminder here as the event approaches! Stay tuned!
