The home of Mayor and Mrs. Robert J. Harris returned to normal today following a party yesterday afternoon for young "party workers" and "innumerable neighborhood kids." Mrs. Harris is shown reaching into a box with a dwindling supply of cups used for ice cream sodas. She said there were 50 to 75 children at the party, given as a reward for their aid during the recent mayoral campaign. Their jobs during the campaign included stuffing envelopes and hanging messages on doors. Obviously, the children enjoy licking ice cream more than licking envelopes, however.

A Day at the Dairy: Ann Arbor's Washtenaw Dairy

"A Day At The Dairy brings viewers though the spectrum of a full day at Washtenaw Dairy in the summer of 2024 — opening with coffee and donuts before sunrise until the final ice cream is served after sunset. Since its founding in 1934 as an outlet for dairy farmers to sell their milk, through expanding with ice cream and a donut enterprise reaching all over town, "The Dairy" has provided commodities and served as a community hub in Ann Arbor for 90 years. Owner and President Mary Jean Raab recounts its history alongside a cross section of a day's customers who share what's kept them coming back for a tasty treat, time and time again." - Filmmakers Donald Harrison & Isabel Ratner
