Chill Out with Ice Cream Sandwiches
There's no doubt that savoring summer and enjoying ice cream are nearly synonymous, but we're thinking beyond bowls and cones for everyone's favorite treat. We're taking our ice cream on-the-go in ice cream sandwiches!

IN THIS ISSUE, we're churning homemade ice cream and putting it between freshly baked cookies. You'll find a New York Cheesecake flavor with a fresh Cherry Swirl between Shortcrust Cookies, Better-Than-It sandwiches (Vanilla Bean Frozen Custard on Oatmeal Cookies dipped in Dark Chocolate), and Early Summer Sunrise sandwiches (Apricot Ice Cream between Snickerdoodle Cookies). Mouth watering yet? Ready to chill out?
Fresh, Frozen, Fun

Welcome
Classes and Events
Tis the season for dinner out on the deck and we couldn't be more excited about the wonderful outdoor cooking classes we are featuring this summer. We've made some room and opened up a few more seats in the following classes: Weekend Up North on both July 17th and July 31st, and again for the Clam Boil on August 14th. Give us a CALL (248-684-1373) if you'd like a spot!  We always enjoy these summer evenings outside under the tent! 

Polish Pottery Party!

We also want to draw your attention to our POLISH POTTERY PARTY on AUGUST 7th. The staff went down to pick out an absolutely stunning collection of pieces for this year's event.   There are many new pieces and loads of Unikat/artist signed pieces. There will be an enormous selection, conveniently located all throughout the store so everyone will be able to easily select their purchases. We'll have a drawing that evening for three different pieces of pottery, as well as delicious Polish food from Hamtramck! Each piece of pottery will be offered at 20% off beginning that evening and throughout Milford Memories weekend.   Be sure to come for the party, though!  We don't want you to miss out on the best selection, the great food, and some terrific drawings!
