The Thompsonville Creamery

Last week Council Candidate Bill Ragno combined fundraising for the campaign with promoting a new business in Thompsonville. Anyone who knows Bill knows that his interest in the development of Thompsonville goes beyond the campaign as he has always voiced his ideas about attracting new businesses to the downtown area.

The Thompsonville Creamery, at 40 High St., is owned and operated by Sean, Wendy and Lee Gondarowski.

The Thompsonville Creamery is an incredible place to visit. Whether you stop in for ice cream, a snack, or as the weather changes, a hot cup of coffee you will find this new establishment a true delight.

I personally enjoyed the out door café style patio area. We were able to sit, talk a little current events and politics, and enjoy some old fashion ice cream.

The team of Republican candidates are committed to drawing private businesses to Thompsonville. With the hopes of a Rail Station eventually making it’s way to Thompsonville we believe that a once thriving area for business will rekindle that fire again.

There are many great businesses that have been in Thompsonville for years and we thank them for their commitment to keeping that area strong.

The Thompsonville Creamery is a great addition to the area and I encourage everyone to drop in to this family owned business and let them know that you are behind them and every new business that sets up roots in our historic Thompsonville.
