Ice Cream Social at the Horsesheds after the July 4th reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Meetinghouse. This tradition will continue this year after the hiatus of the Covid year. Immediately following the Reading of the Declaration of Independence in the Meetinghouse, people are invited to enjoy a cup of ice cream at the Horsesheds behind the Meetinghouse.

The Ice Cream Social is sponsored by the Jaffrey Center Village Improvement Society. VIS volunteers serve cups of several flavors of ice cream for people waiting in long lines. This is a perfect time at the beginning of summer for chatting and catching up on the news after long winter months of not seeing each other. Several tables with chairs are provided in the Horsesheds stalls for those who want to linger a bit longer. This event is free with a free-will donation basket available for donations.
