KPR will host 2nd annual Ice Cream Social

LAWRENCE — Kansas Public Radio wants to say “thank you.” The public radio station is hosting an ice cream social in Lawrence to show appreciation to their listening community for supporting the station.

KPR will be serving complimentary Sylas and Maddy’s ice cream and Alchemy iced coffee while supplies last from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, June 21, in South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St. Retro lounge band BongoTini will provide live music.

The first 200 KPR members will receive their ice cream in a new KPR mug. Nonmembers don’t need to worry; KPR is encouraging everyone to bring their own mug to fill with ice cream, and paper cups will also be available.

Attendees can stop by anytime at the event to mingle with KPR hosts and other listeners as well.

KPR would like to thank Sylas & Maddy’s Homemade Ice Cream, Alchemy Cold Brew Coffee, Blue Collar Press and BongoTini.
