NORWICH – From producer to consumer – that’s what the grand opening of Ives Cream was all about.The dream of Katie & Alex Ives was realized when they were able to serve a great locally produced ice cream to the many attendees of the Gus Macker event in downtown Norwich this weekend.

Ward 2 Alderman Terry Bresina, representing the City of Norwich, offered Alex and Katie Ives a proclamation on behalf of Mayor Joseph Maiurano, who was out of town on business.
