If you are 12 and older, consider volunteering at the festival.
Other activities and events that are going to be at the festival are: a basket raffle, carnival games, a magician and a caricature artist. Also at the festival will be SYA sports reps, the fire departments, Boy Scouts and the Falcon mascot.
PTO president of Salisbury Elementary School, Nicoll Spinner, expressed, “We are extremely excited to have this decade-long community tradition of the Ice Cream Festival returned after the need to cancel last year’s event. The festival is something that many community members old and young look forward to. This event has a tradition of bringing together the community to socialize, have fun, and most importantly enjoy some ice cream. We are looking forward to seeing the community during this wonderful event.”
This festival is a great opportunity for elementary students and the Salisbury community to interact and have fun. Make sure to save the date for this Saturday, June 5.
