The annual Olin Ice Cream Social attracts professors and staff like moths to a flame. And their children miraculously appear, too! They line up for scoops of ice cream and a smorgasbord of toppings that would make Ted Drewes blush.

There’s the St. Louis Ices cart with every flavor of syrup to pour over perfect white snowballs of crushed ice. Young and old dance around the circle of the Cake Walk in hopes of bringing home MORE sweets.

And don’t forget the Balloon Lady – perhaps the most popular person at the Social because of the magic she performs with multicolored balloons. Dogs, swords, princess wands, bows and arrows…dream it and she will make it out of thin air!

Thanks to the Aramark staff for serving up another great Ice Cream Social! Counting the days until next year….
