Gaetan Lamontagne, left, of South Monmouth and Dan Deshaies of New Gloucester wait for Hodgman’s Frozen Custard to open for the season in New Gloucester on Sunday. Deshaies said he always comes on opening day. “I’m usually first in line, but I guess I am second today,” he said as he waited for two pints of vanilla and one quart of black raspberry. Lamontagne works for the town of New Gloucester and buys quarts of frozen custard for each of the moms in his family for Mother’s Day each year. Lamontagne, who bought nine quarts of black raspberry, has kept the tradition going despite the death of his own mother, Jeannette, two years ago. Joyce Hodgman said she expected “thousands” of customers to stop by on opening day. “We will be bombed,” said Hodgman. “The lines will be out to the road,” she said. The family business has been around since 1946.
