Glimpses of my FIRST visit EVER to the St. John Church Ice Cream Social - 2013

Though I was "raised in the neighborhood" and had heard of it for as long as I can remember, I had never attended the St. John's Ice Cream Social until this year.  As the date approached, I was thrilled when I learned that this was a regular thing for Evan and he was planning to attend...

This view was one I knew well due to pulling out of Jefferson School nearly four million times over the course of my life... But it was just phenomenal to see all of the traffic of those attending.

As reported by WPSD-TV, the event has taken place for 70 years

and proceeds go to benefit local families in need.

I  caught some folks sitting about visiting 
who were agreeable for a quick shot... 

This shot, I thought said so much ...

people visiting and seeing people they haven't seen in ages just as far as the eye can see ...

One of my favorite shots of the afternoon ... the official meteorologist of the Comer family and many of you, Beau Dodson and his mom, Judy.  I have known these two since before I was born and I was so happy to run into them... 

This is one of those events that you just shouldn't miss...
