Dairyland Gutted by Fire
Woods_fire
Word just in to the Barista newsroom: Montclair's Wood's Dairyland was gutted by a fire this evening. The fire was called in at 8:10 pm, and the preliminary finding is that the fire was electrical in origin.

Firetrucks and members of the Wood family were on the scene at 9:35 pm, when these pictures were taken.

Wood's Dairyland ranked 5th in an Oct. 7 Barista poll in which we asked readers to vote for the best ice cream in Baristaville.

What a tough break for the family -- it's such a great place. Hope they are able to rebuild.

The Montclair Fire Department motto: "We've never lost a foundation!"

Looks like this building is/was masonry.

Great ice cream, catering & people. I hope the Woods family pulls through and rebuilds. My best to them.

I will really miss the lemon ice with pits and rind and the lemon ice cream that was heavenly.

"I will really miss the lemon ice with pits..."

We're all glad to know that.

So glad to read that they are going to rebuild. It is a good ice cream and a great Montclair family.
