Ice Cream and Lockwood at the SOHO

The So-ho in the Burg Gallery in Stroudsburg, PA held an Ice Cream Social Meet and Greet on Sunday November 3rd featuring an opportunity to meet Kathleen Lockwood who was a mayoral candidate for the town. A sizable number of supporters (which included many who lived outside her district and were unable to cast their vote for her) were there to enjoy the ice cream served by Chef G of Chef II Go and to partake of the opportunity to get to know the candidate. A great number of conversations was shared with Ms. Lockwood throughout the event along with chats with individuals who were either serving in or running for other public offices. It was an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon with good company as meaningful ideas on how to improve upon the community were explored.
