Tour de Lafayette Sponsors:
Frostbite Gourmet Ice Cream, LLC specializes in making old-fashioned style, gourmet ice cream. We use the finest local ingredients whenever possible, then churn our ice cream in old-fashioned, wooden ice cream freezers. Rather than sugar, we use honey from farms in Missouri and the surrounding states. We could make our ice cream in a more conventional way, but then you wouldn’t get the attention to detail, unique flavors, texture and taste exclusive to our gourmet ice creams.

The Lafayette Square Restoration Committee (LSRC) is the non-for-profit, neighborhood association for Lafayette Square. The organization was founded by a group of young urban pioneers who moved to the area in the 1960s, with the purpose of wanting others to enjoy the benefits of restoring the neighborhood’s Victorian homes.
Today, the LSRC seeks to facilitate the preservation and redevelopment of Lafayette Square, respecting its special historic character and enhancing its overall livability. In trying to achieve these goals, the LSRC funds the majority of neighborhood projects and improvements including (to name a few): Beautification, Capital Improvements, Community Affairs, Development, House Tours, National Night Out, Park House Maintenance, Police Substation, Safety, Security Initiatives, Special Events, SquareShare, Urban Plan, and Website. The LSRC is happy to have the Tour de Lafayette in our backyard once again. To find out more about the LSRC and events in our neighborhood, please go to www.lafayettesquare.org.
