Dover Historical Society Presents Annual Ice Cream Social This Sunday

The Dover Historical Society will hold its 2010 Ice Cream Social on Sunday July 11 from Noon to 4pm on the Grounds of the J.E. Reeves Home.  This year’s event is sponsored though a generous grant from the Dominion Foundation. The Dominion Foundation contributes more than $20 million annually to charities in the states where the company operates. Foundation grants are limited to tax-exempt organizations and support a variety of programs, such as food banks, homeless shelters, educational grants, cultural outreach programs in the performing arts, and land and habitat preservation.

This year’s event will feature food, entertainment, living history characters, tours of the Reeves Home, a car display, old time music, a tea room, cake walks every half an hour, and a bounce house and inflatable slide.  Entertainment will be provided by Fred and Louise Deetz, Musical Sojourners and Mellowtone.  The car display is organized by Walt Stockert and will feature a number of great classic cars.

There is no admission charge for this year’s Social, and tickets will be sold for all activities and food.  Tickets will be 25 cents each or five for $1.00.  All refreshments and games will be affordably priced with Ice Cream available for 5 tickets ($1.00) and kid’s games for only 1 ticket (25 cents).  Kids will have the opportunity to play tradition Ice Cream Social games like ring toss, clothespin drop, Penny drop, egg on a spoon and duck pond.  By playing games the children can earn tokens that may be traded for prizes at our prize table.

Please make plans to join us on Sunday July 11^th from noon to 4pm for this great family friendly event on the beautiful grounds of the J.E. Reeves Home and Museum.
