We would like to take this opportunity to thank Robert P. Cox the manager of The Scoop Shoppe on Main Street in Pelham. He generously donated the ice cream, strawberries and scoops for the PCOA ice cream social. He went above and beyond to make sure the ice cream was the perfect temperature for scooping.
