ROCKFORD — an ice cream social collided with a chilly June afternoon Sunday and ice cream won out.
About 200 people had accepted through the gate of Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum by early Sunday afternoon for the historic landmark’s annual ice cream social.
Organizers predictable 300 to make the trip by the time festivities wound down about 6 p.m.
"I'm always up for ice cream, no matter what," said Amber Kersol, of Rockford who convinced her two friends Sara Danger of Roscoe and Briana Solares of Machesney Park to spend the afternoon at Tinker.
"It didn't take much convincing," Danger confided.
But ice cream wasn't the only draw. There was live music, a new show on the Rockford temperance movement, crafts, face-painting for kids and other events to stay visitors entertained.
