According to Seacoast Online, Steve Dunne didn’t even know it was Lady Gaga when she got out of her car to grab an ice cream cone at his shop, Dunne’s Ice Cream in York, Maine. But his staff knew who she was and they were very excited that THE Lady Gaga was ordering ice cream!
Why was Lady Gaga at an ice cream shop in York, Maine?
She was in town for her sister’s wedding. She was the maid of honor and the wedding was at the ViewPoint Hotel which is across the street.
What flavor of ice cream did Lady Gaga order?
She got a small chocolate walnut and Steve Dunne did the scooping. He didn’t even know who she was when she came in and he was cleaning a counter. She got her cone and got back in her car. Steve learned that Lady Gaga was looking to be quiet about her visit and they respected that wish. They shared no pictures. Steve told Seacoast Online,
We felt like we would respect that for them rather than blow it all up. I scooped her some ice cream. She said it was nice to be a normal person here in York, Maine.

The Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition says over the past two weeks its immigrant defense hotline has seen an uptick in reported ICE detentions.
They say this corresponds with a national shift in ICE activity, including bids for local businesses to cooperate with ICE.
In Maine, the arrests follow a broader trend of targeting Black and brown immigrants, including people navigating immigration proceedings.
The coalition, which represents more than 100 organizations, says it’s ready to protect civil and human rights and is urging immigrants to prepare themselves and their families.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
They suggest having the defense hotline ready in case you witness ICE activity, making sure you have important personal documents in case of detention, and reviewing rights around judicial warrants in private spaces, like your home or workplace.
It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
