The Lakeside Association’s ice cream social to raise money for scholarships

What is summer without ice cream - and what is better than ice cream and cake in our beautiful Lakeside Park?

Go join the fun at the annual community tradition, the Lakeside Association’s Ice Cream Social, which will take place from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5, at the Lakeside Park Gazebo at Lakeside Road and Red Arrow Highway. Mix and mingle with neighbors, friends and family while enjoying homemade bake goods and ice cream. This year, the Rotary Club of Harbor Country will again join the Lakeside Association in partnership to raise money for local high school scholarships.

Just $5 gets you ice cream, homemade cake, cookies, and more. There will also be live music by The State Street Five featuring summertime melodies and sing-along favorites for young and old.

Kids can try their luck at the Fish Pond and win a prize. And of course, there will also be the traditional cake auction, where Harbor Country’s best bakers contribute delectable items that are sold to the highest bidder. All proceeds going to the Lakeside Association Scholarship Fund benefitting high school seniors in the River Valley School District.

The social is sponsored by The Lakeside Association of Harbor Country.

The Lakeside Association is a longstanding organization that invites residents to participate in their community through holiday parades, the Ice Cream Social, Garden Walk and History Walk.

Volunteers from the association also help maintain the Lakeside Park, a restful green space in the village center.
