The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com CANADA DAY Thursday, Junk 28, 2012 Page 3 Too many lemons, make lemonade -too much milk, make ice cream By Sheila Quinn The rain began at 6 p.m., on July 1, 1976 - Royce Griffith, of Richmond, looked out at the skies and wondered what it would mean for the Canada Day Ice Cream Social that he and his wife Winnifred had helped the Calf Club teens to organize.Guests were expected at 7, but arrivals began as Royce examined the skies - it looked like this little event just might take off just the same.It all started on the previous Sunday, when a cutback in the quota of the amount of milk to be shipped meant there would be a surplus.Royce had suggested that they separate the cream with the separator he had purchased at Ross Nixon’s sale, and make ice cream.That idea led to another.why not organize an ice cream social?For that week, leading up to Canada Day on the Thursday, the Calf Club and friends made ice cream in the evenings, using an old fashioned ice cream maker.“It was all I could smell! Eggs! Cream! Vanilla!” laughs Winnifred Griffith, re- membering that special night, 36 years ago this coming July 1.As it turned out, the rain didn’t keep customers at bay.For hours the cars kept coming -Winnifred’s father, Mr.Gee, sat at the door and sold tickets.With three hundred sold at the end of the night at $1 a pop, it was an attendance no one could’ve anticipated.Dishes had been borrowed from the church, all of the Calf Club members had turned up to help, plus friends and family.Marnie Thompson was at the scoop, dishing out dish after dish of the hard ice cream.“Our last guests arrived several hours later, Eddie and Georgina Fowler, and her parents.They were on the way home from the hospital following the birth of their eldest, their son Andrew,” recalls Winnifred.It’s funny how traditions begin.For several years afterward, the Strawberry Ice Cream Social was held at The Ridge, then it moved to the Richmond Fairgrounds, where the popular event continues, organized by the Richmond 4H Club.PHOTO COURTESY OE SHEILA Q!
