The Get Cranky Ice Cream Social this Sunday was so much fun! Many enjoyed the ice cream, games, bubbles, coloring mural, and the museum exhibits. It was a fantastic way to bring the community together. Thank you to our business sponsors
Superone Foods, Cloquet Dairy Queen, Bernicks Pepsi, Kwik Trip, and Go Klean, for donating the materials and funds that made it all possible. Thank you all who attended and volunteered. We can't wait to do it all again next year!
