Welcome to the summer issue of IN Chartiers Valley
magazine.
Summer is just around the corner and traveling to
a tropical resort isn’t your only vacation option. This
summer, why not plan a “staycation” and rediscover
recreation and relaxation right in your own backyard (or
close to it)! Our summer staycation guide offers dozens of
ways to have fun with the family and save money while exploring our great region.
While few of us scream for ice cream when the weather is cold, local ice cream shops are
heating up with families (and their dogs) looking for relief from the relentless sunshine. Be
sure to read “Cool It!” in this issue to get the scoop on some of the local ice cream shops and
creameries in your neighborhood. If we’ve missed one of your favorites, please email us at
editors@icmags.com and we’ll be sure to include it online.
Wishing you a safe and happy summer!
