Nearly 200 residents and guests sampled and indulged in many luscious treats at the annual Dessert Extravaganza.

Even with the snow blowing, people gathered for conversation and ice cream in the bistro. Several recalled fond memories of making homemade ice cream on cold days, because the snow would freeze the ice cream faster.
