History

Arriving soon after the Lefevres, the Fry family has a colourful, and cow-ful, history. In 1799, Mother Fry and her four daughters, Etsy, Betsy, Elizabeth and Harm arrived in Tamarack Falls, bringing little enough in material goods, but plenty in willingness to do hard work. Working their way up from nothing to the many-acred farm they own today was made possible in large part by their mother's skill at icing creams.

Over time, the family grew, the farm grew, and these days it is both the largest and the oldest farm continuously occupied by the same family in the Tam Valley.

In 1959, fraternal twins Mal and Leslie decided to test the market with some new flavours, deviating from the tried and true favourites. This experiment became what is now the "Dare" ice cream shop down in Fort Brunsett, and the family farm renamed itself to match, the Old Fry Farm becoming "Dair-ya Creamery" to the public. Much to the confusion of newcomers and their own private enjoyment, long-timers in Tamarack Falls still use the original name. All members of the family are welcome on the farm, and the rambling homes and barns tucked away amidst the pasturing always have room for guests.

Mal and Leslie are fairly well aged and decrepit these days, but happily so, and eagerly participate in the great game of coming up with new flavours for their creations, even if the running of their shop and farm have to be left to younger hands.

While the majority of the family still maintains at least a minor presence on the family farm, a blend of itchy feet and their foremothers' firm preference to Get Stuff Done has led many of their current kin toward the forests which surround their valley home, energy never a problem. Really, never a problem.

Notable NPCs

  • Mallorie "Mal" Fry - Mal's one of the family legends at this point, but seeing as she is a living legend, she can't get away with quite as much as she attempts to. She would argue that it was her idea to come up with zany new flavors of ice cream, and, after seventy years of bickering, her twin still won't agree. A short woman, rounding, nearing the three-quarter century mark, she's in good health and lives on the family farm, as she has done her whole life. She's a prankster, even at her age. Don't believe those innocent blue eyes.
  • Leslie Fry - Leslie, Mal's fraternal twin, is an inch taller than his sister and has lorded his lofty height over her since he was old enough to lord. Inseparable, the pair has never married, and while Leslie is quieter, more patient and less impetuous than his twin, he is a passionate philatelist, and often tries to name ice cream flavors after famous postage stamps.
