Hundreds of neighbors (and their dogs) flocked to the Maple Leaf Summer Ice Cream Social Wednesday night.
Here are a few photographs of the event.
This photo, capturing a fraction of the folks waiting in line for ice cream, is by Dane Doerflinger, a photographer and Maple Leaf resident. He’s posted more images here.
We again asked people “why do you love Maple Leaf“? Some of the replies:
“The park, the people, the culture!”
“Close to everything and fun.”
“Walkability. Best hardware store in the city. Superb video store. Yummy restaurants!”
“So convenient to everything – and wonderful people! And all the shop owners seem to be dog friendly. Thank you, Maple Leaf.”
More photos from Grace Seidel, a regular volunteer and organizer at the social, are here.
Kids and I had a blast! A shout out to Maple Leaf Ace Hardware for the Good Humour bars. Electric cars were a bonus.
Loved the social last night… so much fun! Special kidos to Cloud City Coffee for hooking me up with my first “Maple Leaf for Life” sticker! And of course ACE Hardware and Peaks Frozen Custard for such nom nom frozen goodies!
MLCC has our photos up, too.

Peaks, thanks! You are awesome! How about letting some of us neighbors help out and scoop next year so we can have less time in line and more time for socializing? You might get more time to check out the festivities, too. Thanks for supporting the event.
You guys, we had such a fun, HOOT of a time last night scooping for everyone. We hardly had time to run around and have the same kind of fun as most, so thanks for sharing the photos!
