I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

If you like ice cream on an early fall evening, the Sheridan Historical Society has a great deal for you. The Society will hold a fundraising event from 4 to 8 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 19, on the grounds of the Boxley Cabin in Veterans Park. The park is located on the north end of Sheridan at Main and First streets. Parking is available on the street or at the park.

The Society has decided everyone needs a break from the lives we all lead these days, so event organizers will offer a generous helping of ice cream with a variety of toppings for free – but donations are much appreciated.

There will be live entertainment as well. The Thorntown Backporch Pickers will play a variety of bluegrass tunes for your pleasure. The Scarlet Mask Vigilance Society, a western action shooting and re-enactment group, will also be on site to provide additional live and lively entertainment.

So, bring your lawn chairs, something to drink and your ice cream appetite to Boxley Cabin in beautiful uptown Sheridan. The weather is predicted to be clear, but a bit chilly on Saturday, so you might want to bring a heavy jacket or hoodie and maybe even a blanket or two.
