The Pleasant Pond Pirates

By Christina Nyquist on Tuesday, August 15, 2006.

The sound of the ice cream truck's jingle is certainly familiar during the summer, but a couple of young women in Deerfield have come up with another, less common way to peddle frozen treats.

Every weekend, 16-year old Onni Irish and her friend Philomena Duffy pilot their ice cream boat to residents on Pleasant Pond.

They call themselves the Pleasant Pond Pirates.

NHPR's Christina Nyquist caught up with the young entrepreneurs as they packed up their skiff for their route around the lake.
