Day one of the Ice Cream Capitol of the World’s signature summer celebration took place yesterday, with Ice Cream Days getting underway with community events, muscle cars, live music, and plenty of ice cream. Hometown Le Mars Heritage Foundation executive director Kristen Heimgartner gave a recap of Wednesday’s events to KLEM.
Heimgartner also gave a preview of today’s events, featuring theater and music productions, an outdoor movie, and more.
Primebank will host their 58th annual Ice Cream Social from 6-8 pm at their location in Le Mars, with an evening of music, inflatables for kids, selfies, and free ice cream sundaes planned. The highlight of the Social will be the final performance of “The Noteables,” a band consisting of Le Mars Community School alumni and friends reuniting for the final time for a “Final Encore.”
Also starting at 6pm, the Le Mars Community Theatre will put on a special youth performance of “That’s Not How I Remember It” by Don Zolidis at the Postal Playhouse. Described as “a hilarious throwback to the totally rad 1980s,” this fun one-act comedy shows that the past isn’t always remembered the same way by everyone. Tickets for the performance are $3, with cash taken at the door.
Wrapping up the day is a Drive-In Movie Night at the Le Mars Chevrolet GMC, showing the Disney movie “Hoppers” starting at 8:30pm. For more information on today’s events, or for the full event schedule, visit icecreamdays.com.
