We want to give a huge THANK YOU to Rocky RD Ice Cream for once again being a sweet part of the VOC Community BBQ! Their support has become a tradition we all look forward to—and let's be honest, it just wouldn’t be the same without them!

Every year, Rocky RD generously donates ice cream to the event, and it’s a massive hit with both kids and adults alike. And this year, we’re thrilled to welcome back the crowd-favorite flavor made just for the BBQ:
👉 Javelina Tracks 🐗🍫—a deliciously wild treat that’s become a staple of the event!

Thank you, Rocky RD, for your ongoing support and for helping us make this day extra special (and extra sweet) for the entire Village of Oak Creek community.
