Orion makes everyone feel welcome at Nelson’s Market — one of the many reasons we’ll miss them this summer! Orion’s last regular shift will be Monday, June 30 before taking on a full-time seasonal salmon gig. Come wish them well this Monday evening and give Orion Winter lots of reasons to return to Nelson’s in the fall!

It was a Free Ice Cream Day for the history books! 🍦

We had an incredible turnout and were scooping nonstop from noon to 4 p.m. It was wonderful to see so many neighborhood pals enjoying their cones! Photo of York kids by Miguel Wolff.

Thank you to everyone who came out. Did you get a scoop?

This Friday is the 30th anniversary of Free Ice Cream Day at Nelson’s Market! From noon to 4 p.m., York neighborhood kids are invited to enjoy a free cup or cone to celebrate the beginning of summer vacation. 🎉

Ten years ago, back in 2015, these kids took part in our sweet tradition. Who do you recognize?
