Dahlicious Delights!

Celebrate the 100th birthday of author Roald Dahl at Ample Hills with the best ice cream in town on Sept. 17.

Dahlicious Delights honors the author with a free sundae bar, Dream Jar game, dress-up and crafts corners, and readings from Mara Wilson (pictured, star of the movie “Matilda” and debut author of “Where Am I Now?”), Paul Griffin (“When Friendship Followed Me Home”), Abby Hanlon (“Ralph Tells a Story”), and John Marciano Bemelmans (the Madeline series).

A portion of the proceeds of all the Dahlicious Delights is going to Partners in Health, which brings high-quality healthcare to poor communities around the world. It was co-founded by Roald’s daugher Ophelia Dahl.

Dahlicious Delights, Sept. 17, noon to 4 pm. Free.
