From classic cones to over-the-top sundaes, our city is full of sweet spots worth visiting. This summer, families are invited to join the Summit Scoops ice cream crawl, a fun community activity where kids can visit participating locations, collect passport stamps, and earn a prize after completing the crawl.
Once you've visited every location, turn your passport back in to Cori Day at City Hall, 220 SE Green Street, before Labor Day to receive your prize!
