Dessert before dinner? Yes, please! Come to downtown Winchester from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday, July 14, for ice cream, balloon animals, the mellow sound stylings of a barbershop quartet and more. TheSweetest Days of Summer ice cream social event is presented by Winchester First and everyone is invited.
 
In addition to ice cream food trucks, there will be an Ice Cream Scavenger Hunt downtown for a free ice cream coupon to be redeemed during the event, plus drink specials offered at participating restaurants.
