Welcome to the summer issue of IN South Fayette 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 !
