Ada Grotnes, her grandmother Joanne Jones, and Lilly and Norah Carlson shared a soft patch of grass while they enjoyed the Highland Lake Protective Association’s (HLPA) annual Ice Cream Social at the East Andover Fire Station on July 7.About 75 area residents and visitors showed up for the most delicious social event of the summer on Channel Road. With generous scoops of vanilla ice cream from Richardson’s Dairy, homemade hot chocolate, fresh sliced strawberries, and about 10 other toppings, there was plenty of variety to make your sundae just the way you like.A big thanks to Denise Parker and her family for the secret hot chocolate recipe and sponsorship of all the toppings.Our goal next year is to serve 100 sundaes, so remember to put aside time for dessert and a charitable cause during next year’s Fourth of July Weekend.Photo and caption: Earle Davis Pictured at the HLPA Ice Cream Social are Lori Ballato, Denise Parker, Annie Parker, and Beth Lind.
