Rain moves Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Social indoors

The Hoard Historical Museum in Fort Atkinson held its 44th annual Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Social on Monday, July 4.

The Independence Day event was moved inside the museum due to rain. That did not stop a large crowd from attending.

In addition to vanilla ice cream, there were toppings, with select toppings courtesy of Fort Atkinson’s Frostie Freeze.

Music was provided by the Harmony Cornet Band, which plays historical popular music on period instruments.
