Support of local business and summer fun are the focus July 25 in a ‘chill trail' event to invite patrons to fend off summer heat with cool summertime treats offered by small businesses in Emmaus. Presented by Emmaus Main Street Partners, the event encouraged shoppers to visit and explore local businesses where frozen treats helped visitors cool off.
