Special thanks to Goodman's Deli, Delicious Heights and Craft Bagel for helping us get this together quickly and for donating gift cards; we're so "lucky" to have them in our community! Everyone's favorite "Scream Truck" (ice cream) will be on site beginning at 4:30 pm for adults and kids, so come early!
