Just Right for Summer

Lamar residents of all ages were at Willow Creek Park, Thursday evening, July 30, for the annual Ice Cream Social and free swim night at the Lamar Municipal Pool, sponsored by the Lamar Chamber of Commerce and Parks & Recreation Department.

Folks with an appetite for homemade ice cream, some youngsters who were tasting it for the very first time and some oldsters who felt like they were kids again, helped themselves to a table of toppings while they found a place to sit under the pavilion or on several picnic tables and visited with neighbors and friends.

Chamber directors either handed out bowls and spoons, scoops of ice cream, or the mandatory toppings..chocolate, strawberry, whipped cream or caramel syrups. While some were digging into the frozen treat others were seated along the wall separating the parking lot from the park, waiting to gain entry to the pool for a night of free swimming.
