Instead of hiding from the August heat, come hide with us. Join the Carson City Historical Society on Saturday for our much-beloved annual Ice Cream Social, where towering shade trees, cold, delicious ice cream, the lively sounds of the Carson Street Ragtime Band, tours of the beautiful Foreman-Roberts House Museum, and good company come together for one of Carson City’s favorite summer traditions.
This year’s celebration will be even more special as we announce and celebrate the winners of our America250 Essay Contest, “What America Means to Carson City.” Beginning at 2:30 p.m., these talented young writers will read their award-winning essays.
Congratulations to our winners:
• Nathan Man – Grades 4–6 Winner
• Jack Iaeger – Grades 7–8 Winner
• Anna Shane – Grades 9–12 Winner
Honorable Mention:
• Noisette Mitchell
• Judah Iaeger
• Tristan Ambrose
Join us Saturday, August 8, from 2:00–4:00 p.m. at the historic Foreman-Roberts House Museum, 1207 N. Carson Street.
Where else can you spend a summer afternoon listening to ragtime, strolling through a beautifully restored Victorian home, celebrating the voices of Carson City’s young writers, and enjoying a generous bowl of ice cream — all in one place?
Suggested donation: $5. Come for the ice cream…stay for the memories.
