Living in Western New York, you know one of the surefire ways to know when summer has arrived is when the ice cream truck comes rolling through your neighborhood. Something about having a lovely ice cream cone on a hot summer day in the 716 makes everything seem right in the world.

Whether you're grabbing that cone from your favorite ice cream shop or your kitchen, there aren't many other things that are as refreshing. It was especially fun when you would have an ice cream party or social at school towards the end of the school year.

If the idea of having an ice cream with friends sounds exciting, then you want to clear your calendar this week to head into downtown Buffalo because a rather large ice cream social is coming to town.
