Happy National Ice Cream Day! Glen Rae Dairy was in business for over 65 years, and is credited as the first to deliver milk door-to-door in Bowmanville, beginning in 1912! The Dairy had a storefront on King Street West, and would offer free ice cream on the last day of school to the kids who passed the year!

Throughout history, fashion is one way in which we can mark change in society. For this Style Saturday, nothing says summer quite like cooling down with a slice of watermelon on a hot day! This image from our collection highlights some of the best aspects of summer as a child, running around barefoot and enjoying a cool snack on a hot day. What colour do you think this child's shirt was after snack time? And how are you staying cool this summer?
