2018 Ice Cream Social

 

The Ice Cream Social is almost here! 

Here’s what you need to know about Oakland County’s premier Ice Cream Social.

When: Saturday July 28th 2018 from 11 AM to 5 PM

Where: Pine Grove, 405 Cesar E Chavez Avenue in Pontiac. See below for a map and a program.

Tips For Visitors

  • A draft of our program will be available the week of July 23rd and not a moment before. The final program will be available at the entrance. Even then, it will be subject to change.
  • Admission: $7.00 per person, $15.00 for a family of five.
  • Free, secured parking, on site. Behind a fence. With people observing the area. Constantly. Don’t even try it. We have a cannon and we know how to use it.

Speaking of cannons…

  • Be advised that a a cannon will be fired at certain points of the day. It’s loud. The cannon will be located in the southwest corner of the campus. Avoid that area if you’re sensitive to BOOM.
  • Rain Policy: It’s Michigan, it’s summertime. If it rains we’ll probably get wet, so put an umbrella in the car. If it’s pouring down and the hail is starting to get annoying, we might close early. Don’t bet on it, though.

Park It At Pine Grove – the Vintage Car Show

Download a pre-registration form here.

The front lawn of the mansion will be the place to be if you have a classic car and want to show it off!

We’re looking for people with 1970 or earlier classic cars to show off during the Ice Cream Social. Free admission to the Social to the driver and a passenger, free parking for a trailer and tow vehicle if you need it. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the social. We’ll have a certificate for anyone who brings their car.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other car enthusiasts and have some great beauty shots of your car taken in front of one of Pontiac’s most historical landmarks.

You can find out more information here, or contact Dave Decker through the OCPHS office at office@ocphs.org for more details.
