UMC HOSTS ANNUAL ICE CREAM SOCIAL AND UNITED WAY GOLF BALL DROP – kroxam.com

The annual Ox Cart Days Ice Cream Social was held at the University of Minnesota Crookston Campus Mall and Gazebo on Wednesday afternoon. UMC staff ran a booth serving bowls of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream with water and lemonade with music performed by the wind ensemble Windblown in the gazebo as people enjoyed their cold treat on a warm summer day. Children were allowed to play around in the mall fields or could also pet some sheep, thanks to Crookston Ambulance running Animals on the Mall.

At 4:00 p.m., the United Way of Crookston, with the help of the Crookston Fire Department, commenced their Golf Ball Drop fundraiser off the ladder of one of their fire trucks, raining down hundreds of golf balls towards a hula hoop with a small hole in the center below it. The closest person was Mallorie Zapata, who won a $100 gift certificate to Hugos Family Marketplace, with Robbie Nobles and Kayla Smith coming in second and third.

Pictures of the social and Golf Ball Drop can be seen below.
