West Winfield, NY: The Millers Mills Community is again planning their annual Ice Cream Social for Sunday, July 21, 2024, at Noon. The Millers Mills Grange sponsors the event and feels compelled to carry on this tradition to offer younger generations an opportunity to step back in time and experience a task that their ancestors once did.

The three-day process of making fresh custard into ice cream starts on Thursday with the community coming together to measure, stir, and freeze the locally sourced ingredients into the rich and creamy dessert. The two flavors, chocolate and vanilla, are then frozen in large specially crafted ice cream cylinders to be turned into what Ice Cream Social attendees enjoy on Sunday. The authentic, antique, machines used churn the frozen custard for hours over the course of the weekend, making sure that each batch is perfectly blended and full of flavor.

Visitors to the Grange Hall can purchase ice cream, and food while enjoying blues, folk and Americana music by RayJ. Raffle tickets will be on sale for a Poly Rocker, by Jeff’s Handcrafted Amish Furniture. All items are cash sale. Along with the food, music and games; weather pending.

We encourage you to bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket to make yourself comfortable and enjoy all that our old-fashioned ice cream social has to offer.
