Ice Cream Social to take place Saturday

Bring the family for an old-fashioned Sunday afternoon outing under the big tent with music by The New Canaan Town Band and the Saxsationals. Enjoy ice cream courtesy of Baskin-Robbins and homemade cakes made by the National Charity League and entertainment by Roger the Jester. The museums will all be open, including the John Rogers Studio, Rock School, Cody Drug Store, Tool Museum and Hanford-Silliman House where there will be demonstrations and games and crafts for children. Antique and classic cars will be on parade on the great lawn where visitors can vote for their favorites. Off campus, the Little Red Schoolhouse on Carter Street will be open from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. with former students who will share their stories.
