The Penn Brad Oil Museum is holding an Old Fashioned Ice Cream Social to celebrate its return to summer hours.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

The family-friendly event is free and open to the general public. Attendees can enjoy chili, soup and sandwiches, then create their own ice cream sundae for dessert.

There will be various opportunities to learn about the rich oil history of the local area, including new displays in the museum and new items for sale in the store.

“There will be films going on, showing old oil wells shot in the area” and other historic information related to the oil industry, according to event chairwoman Isabelle Champlin.

The plan is also to have the old engines within the museum operating for the day.

Tours of the museum and the rig will take place during the ice cream social. The museum board members and staff will be in attendance, so those who come out to enjoy some ice cream can make their acquaintance.

The day is also predicted to be perfect weather to enjoy an outing for ice cream.

“It is supposed to be fantastic weather: 68 degrees and no rain,” Champlin said.

The event is intended to be a celebration of the oil museum’s return to summer and fall hours, which are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Donation boxes will be on site for anyone interested in making a financial contribution.
