The annual Palmer Community Center Ice Cream Supper drew a crowd of over 1,000 this past Saturday.

This year saw the return of grilled corn on the cob, vegetarian chili and pulled pork barbecue to the menu. Musical entertainment was provided throughout the day. The event is a fundraiser for the Effinger Ruritan Club and the Palmer Community Center. The photos above and at immediate left were taken of the volunteers preparing the ice cream during the week.
