Friday Fun
Friday Night’s Ice Cream Social was so much fun! Thank you Kaye Dougan and all of the volunteer ice cream scoopers for your hard work in creating an enjoyable community evening! There were so many happy children (and adults) happily dancing to Roger Tincknell’s music and enjoying their ice cream sundaes. Thanks to everyone who attended and bought those raffle tickets (and congratulations to the lucky winners)! The event earned $500 for next year's PGO programs!
By the way, if you’d like to purchase Roger’s cds you can find them on his website. He’s offered a discount to anyone who mentions that they heard him at the Ice Cream Social!
The Social wouldn't have possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Greenfield Savings Bank – Amherst Branch, Prudential Sawicki Real Estate, Robert Stern Financial Services, Atkins Farms Country Market, Institute for Training & Development, K. Chulo Bags, Sibies Pizza, Stop and Shop, Big Y and Wilbur Bed & Breakfast. Crocker Farm is grateful for your contributions!
