On Saturday afternoon, October 4, 2014, join the Morrison Historical Society Board of Trustees and your friends between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. for an ice cream social, at Morrison’s Heritage Museum, 202 E. Lincolnway, Morrison, IL. Other refreshments include barbecue pork sandwiches, pie, pop, and bottled water, all by donation only. Kindly bring a lawn chair for outdoor seating, if the day is blessed with fine weather.
Two Morrison men of renown will be the focus of this annual community event. Kenny Venhuizen returns for a third year to treat visitors to his oh-so-rich vanilla ice cream. Half the fun is watching–or rather, hearing–the creation being “churned” by his portable hit-‘n’-miss engine. Venhuizen built it about five years ago and has delighted ice cream fans ever since.
Morrison’s hometown super star race car driver is Arnie “The Farmer” Beswick, admired and adored by fans across the United States. He will bring one of his Tameless Tiger vehicles to the parking lot and have appropriate racing items for sale inside. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet this legend of drag racing!
