On Saturday, March 6, 2021, Sparta Public Library was pleased to present “The Science of Ice Cream Making”. Everyone in the class wore a mask and practiced social distancing and the overall class was a hit. Place cards were made for each participant. They each had their own table and were spaced at opposite ends. Class instructors, Lynette Jalivay and Linda Daniels distributed Ice Cream making kits. After a brief introduction and welcome to the class, Lynette gave about a 5 – 8 minute talk on the science of ice cream, how ice cream is made and about the chemical reaction in making ice cream. She also gave a tidbit of information on the history of ice cream, and then we let the FUN begin. After all the shaking, they enjoyed eating the ice cream and they each gave the class a thumbs up. Call the library to see what is coming up soon.
