The ‘Gone Fishing’ sign on Cindy’s Soft Serve means the summer is officially over. (Photo by Susan Lavin).

Cindy’s Soft Serve now has empty picnic tables out back where more often than not you could find family gatherings, groups of kids who just finished a ballgame and young couples enjoying an ice-cream treat. There are no long lines and happy laughter that could be heard from the parking lot, and even Washington Boulevard, if you drove by with your windows down on a warm evening.

For many, summer is now officially over now that Cindy’s dons the “Gone Fishing” sign.

Enjoy the new crisp fall temperatures knowing that once April rolls around again, Cindy’s Soft Serve will once more be open for business, and you can meet your friends and share a tasty ice-cream or your favorite flavor snow ball!

What was your all-time favorite this past season?

Amusing Fall Festival at Super Fresh This Saturday

Posted: October 22, 2008

Super Fresh will have an Elkridge Fall Festival Saturday, Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. 2 p.m. The day of fun will feature the Elkridge Landing Middle School “Band Instrument Costume Contest.”

The talented students will be performing at 11:30 a.m., and everyone is invited to attend. Please bring along your camera, because not only will the students be dressed in costumes while performing, but their band instruments will be creatively clad in costumes as well. This should be a fall festival to remember.

This is the first time I’ve tried anything like this, the fun is in the adventure,” Elkridge Landing Middle School band instructor Sue Owens said. The band will be entertaining the crowd with songs such as, The Addams Family, Dr. Rockenstein and Scooby-Doo. The songs are Halloween themed, but instead of spookiness, a wacky style prevails with silly sounds like duck calls, and slide whistles. This will be an amusing event for all ages.
