Agrivision airs Ice Cream Cruise concerns
(Glenwood) -- Officials with a Mills County company say they don't want a popular fall racing event shut down. But, Agrivision officials want better communications and access associated with the Ice Cream Cruise, scheduled for September 27th-29th at the Raceway Park of the Midlands near Pacific Junction. Two company representatives voiced concerns about the event during Tuesday's Mills County Board of Supervisors meeting.
