Arts Center Plans Ice Cream Sundae Day

The Celtic Martins will present music and Irish step-dancing at Eicher Arts Center on Sunday, June 12, starting at 4 p.m., capping the Eicher's annual Ice Cream Sundae Day.

Starting at 2 p.m., the Eicher will begin offering hot dogs and ice cream sundaes at no charge at the Eicher House, 409 Cocalico St., in Ephrata Borough's Grater Park, and Joyful Canvas will provide face painting by Rebekah Violante and balloon animal creations by Deanne Gingrich. At 2:30 p.m., Penn's Woods Puppet Theater will present a "Jack and the Beanstalk" puppet show.

Weather permitting, the Celtic Martins will perform on the deck of the Eicher House. In the event of extreme weather, the event will be moved inside the Eicher House. The public is urged to bring folding chairs and face masks.

The Eicher offers a series of admission-free Sunday afternoon shows for the public, and its annual event featuring ice cream sundaes often attracts the largest crowd of the series.

Donations to the nonprofit Eicher Arts Center Inc. will be accepted. This group was formed approximately four decades ago to help save and find new uses for the historic Eicher House and the smaller Eicher Sisters House nearby. The Sisters House was built approximately 290 years ago.

The musical Martin family developed its talents in Lebanon County and has been performing at Irish, Celtic and Americana festivals for years, including at the Eicher House on more than one occasion.

Penn's Woods Puppet Theater presented "Rumpelstilskin" at Eicher's Ice Cream Sundae Day in 2021.
