• Ice Cream Social
  We’re gearing up for the St. John’s Annual Community Ice Cream Social scheduled for Monday, July 5th (note the date). Denise Coffman, who last year amused us with her balloon creations will be back again this year. She and another fellow balloon twister will wow us with their amazing skill. We’ll have ice cream, cold drinks and hot dogs. All of this happens immediately following the 10:00 a.m. Flossmoor Children’s Parade and runs through about 12:30 p.m. Your participation is what makes this event a success. Are you able to bring in some wildflowers or flowers from your garden? Can you put up flyers around town? Can you help move tables and tents outside? Can you meet and greet our guests? Can you scoop ice cream? How about (and this is for everyone) praying for glorious weather? Contact Gale Michael with questions and/or offers to help.
