Sisters salutes...

On Sunday we were driving through town on Cascade and stopped in front of Sno Cap Ice Cream to let two very elderly gentlemen and a young woman cross the street in the crosswalk. The two gentlemen were moving very slow and one was helping the other. The woman was carrying two beverage containers, and we thought there is a granddaughter helping her elderly relatives across the street.

However, as they walked in front of us we heard through our open car window the woman ask the gentlemen, "Now where do you live?" Then we saw that she was wearing a Sno Cap shirt. She was helping her customers safely across the street, and we don't know how much farther she would be walking with them.

What a class act for Sno Cap and for Sisters.
