Ice Cream Floats & Conversation in Carver Community Park — Friday, Oct 9

CARVER, MN — What better way to spend a crisp autumn Friday afternoon than with a cold, frothy ice cream float and honest conversation about our communities?

On Friday, October 9, from 3:30 to 7:30 PM, fifth-generation dairy farmer and candidate for Minnesota House District 17B Ben Wieman is teaming up with Senate candidate Julie Kelzer to host an informal ice cream social at the pavilion in Carver Community Park.

📋 Event Details

Real Dairy, Honest Talk

Ben’s family has milked cows west of Arlington on land they’ve farmed since 1886. If there’s one thing a fifth-generation dairy farmer knows, it’s good ice cream.

Drop by the park pavilion with your family, grab a fresh root beer float, and pull up a picnic bench. It’s a chance to relax, let the kids hit the playground, and talk with Ben and Julie about what’s on your mind — from fully funding our local schools to healthcare costs and supporting family farms.
