Celebrating Another Year of Learner Milestones
Our Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg will be bringing back a summer event that was a mainstay of our community for several years. The Fourth of July Ice Cream Social will be held on the front lawn of the Sir Christopher Wren Building from 4 to 7 PM.
Our Social features live music with a great band, traditional holiday food (hot dogs and soda, ice cream and cake) and a special area with children’s activities such as Bubbles the Clown, face painting, corn hole, etc. Our raffle will feature some beautiful jewelry items and many other treasures.
Affordable prices make this a family affair. All four food items will cost $10 at the event but advance sale tickets are now available for just $8.
