Best Place in SW for Ice Cream, Pokemon Club, Garden Tours and GMOs

Good morning, South Windsor! Today is Thursday, May 2, 2013; there are 243 days left in the year.

A confession: I'm not much of a candy person. I know, I know. Don't tell Ted.

It's not that I won't eat candy (love me some Snickers now and again), but I won't go out of my way to have some candy and I'll be OK if I don't. Your candy bowls are safe with me.

Ice cream is another story. My family has been known to take a detour to get some Moose Tracks or to drive to a few different convenience stores in search of a particular flavor of Ben & Jerry's. I'll scour the region in search of the best chocolate or coffee shake.

Despite the fact that it was 40ºF, or something like that, on the official first day of Spring, I celebrated with vanilla soft serve.

Ted recently wrote this great story about the reopening of Dari Delite just over the border in East Windsor. It didn't take me long to get there.

So now that you know my secret, can you recommend a place in town or the area to pickup a cone or two? Thanks!

Here's your Daily 5:

1. Don't forget to purchase your tickets for the South Windsor High School spring drama production, A Room with a View? The show runs this Friday and Saturday at the school.

2. Want to know more about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), what they are and how they got into our food supply? A special class is being offered tonight in Windsor.

3. The Zoning Board of Appeals will meet tonight at 8 in the Madden Room at Town Hall.

4. The Pokemon Club meets tonight at 7 in the children's program room of the South Windsor Library.
