Ice Cream anyone?

This is and old dairy churn that is located in a little park wedged between to business buildings in town.
Every year on the first weekend of August our town holds its annual creamery picnic. This has been an annual event since 1911. According to history the Creamery Picnic started after a fire destroyed the local creamery and the manager told the community that if they could rebuild it in 30 days then they would have a huge celebration. They completed the creamery in 39 days so he held the celebration anyway with ice cream, butter and buttermilk from the creamery. Every year still the weekend is kicked off with a parade and the everyone enjoys vendors, food, and fun.

  1. I recognized this one! I've actually done a fair amount of shooting in that tiny little park! We need to get out together one of these days!
