Salem County Arts Alliance 

The Arts Alliance Third Annual Ice Cream Social was a great success especially considering we needed to postpone it one day due to torrential rains. 

2008 saw our first Ice Cream Social.   It was exactly that simple....a social get together with ice cream.   Board President, Roxanna Hurst brainstormed the idea in the spring of 2008.  The Arts Alliance has partnered with the YMCA of Salem County and the Woman's Club of Penns Grove Carneys Point for the each year since.

The original concept - an old time social gathering, free for all to attend, pull up a lawn chair, enjoy the band and each other's company.  We planned and toiled and decorated and were very happy with the results.  So much so, we decided early on this would be an annual event.

The Philadelphia Brigade Band played civil war era music from the gazebo.  Local members of the Salem Oak Singers performed.  We didn't have a sing-a-long this year but we did enjoy the the strummings of Banjo Joe who strolled through the park and played to the audience.

While the concert is free and all are welcomed, the Arts Alliance,  Woman's Club  of PG-CP and the YMCA do man booths offering ice cream, lemonade, hot dogs and treats.  The ticket  cost  is one dollar each.  These tickets can then be redeemed for the ice cream, lemonade and hot dogs.  Ticket sales cover the cost of the band.

Want an enjoyable evening while being transported back to an easier time......plan to attend our 4rd Annual Ice Cream Social July 2011.
