Winter Fun at Community Beach

Cutting Ice for next Summer on Cobbett’s Pond

This group of guys are cutting ice on Cobbett’s Pond at Community Beach, but I really can’t explain why the man in the foreground is dipping his face in the icy water? Carolyn Webber was kind enough to share this photograph with me a few years back.  At the time of this photo, ice was still used to refrigerate food and drinks during the summer months.
