Local businesses want people in their stores, shopping, and spending money. The Emmaus community is looking for ways to stay cool in the summer heat. Let's combine those two needs for a COOL TREATS TRAIL on Saturday July 25 from 12-4pm! People will buy a passport for $10 and stop at the businesses on the list to get a sample-sized cool treat. These could be simple things you purchase at a local grocery store like a mini drumstick, half a klondike bar, half of an iced pop, half of a cookie ice cream sandwich, a sip or two of iced cold lemonade, or whatever else your business can think of! This is open to any and all businesses in the Borough! EMSP Members can participate for free; future members are asked to pay $5.

Passports will be $10 presale through EventBrite. There are only 100 passports available. If there are still passports available day-of, they will be $15. Passport pick up will be at House and Barn (1449 Chestnut St) from 11am-1:30pm.

Thank you to our SPONSOR for their support!

Child-friendly tours and children's activities and games will be available for tons of family fun!
