Start of the season
One of the first few customers, Tallulah, Axl, Cassie and Chad Wiens receive their treats during the early minutes of Dairy Freeze’s opening day of the season on Friday afternoon. The Wiens family has made it their mission to come to opening day at Dairy Freeze, rain or shine. “It’s a family tradition,” Cassie said. “We’re always happy to be here. It’s gotta be the first day.” Dairy Freeze is located at 1506 Albion Avenue in Fairmont and is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays.
