Scoops come in many shapes and sizes...
When I saw this photo* a week or so ago, I couldn't help thinking about my one of my favorite things...ice cream...ice cream is plentiful on the Island...especially this time of year.
The Albatross has great soft serve yogurt as well as quite a selection of ice cream...I think their hours have increased since this photo was taken in June. I just thought the ice cream cone hit the spot!
KK's or The Koyen Collection serves Cedar Crest Ice Cream. Praline Pecan is good.
However, my favorite is Mackinac Island Fudge. We need more, Kenny. I guess other people like it too.
The Fragrant Isle Lavender Cart at Main and Lobdell Pt. has gelato...chocolate, cherry and of course, lavender!
The thought of Ice Cream leads me to the recent ANC Ice Cream Social aka "Art in the Park".
Choosing a flavor is serious business...one has only so many tickets.
It doesn't matter how old we are...when it comes to Ice Cream, we are all children at heart!
Arbutus is a fan of chocolate and Harold likes strawberry. What's your favorite flavor?
Another idea from the Oldenburg "Dropped Cone"...okay, this is a stretch...I can't help myself...
I noticed one of the upcoming concerts for the Washington Island Music Festival is called "Ice Cream Sundae"...well, they do know how to get my attention!
Opening concert is next Monday. The evening starts at 7:00pm with a preconcert talk by Samantha George...concert begins at 7:30pm with a reception following on the patio. www.washingtonislandmusicfestival.com
