Day 72: Stay Cool in the Summer Heat with Ice Cream and Swimming!

If you're looking for something to do to stay cool in the summer heat, consider these options: 

Head out to Meyer Dairy to cool down with some delicious ice cream. Extended summer hours until 11pm today. 




 
Go for a swim in the lake at Whipple Dam State Park, Poe Valley State Park, or Greenwood Furnace State Park. All are free and open dawn to dusk. Concessions and restrooms available.

If you're looking for something "active", consider tubing 'the loop' at Poe Paddy State Park or stopping by Tussey Mountain Outfitters in Bellefonte to rent kayaks to float down Spring Creek and/or Bald Eagle Creek.

Day 5: Enjoy a mexi-hot and a scoop of ice cream at Meyer's Dairy

Now that the warmer weather has caught up with us in Happy Valley, head over to Meyer's Dairy on South Atherton Street for a mexi-hot and a scoop of ice cream.

The building is marked by a small wooden sign which could easily be overlooked by passers-by. Outside the glass doors sit boxes of plants for sale. But inside, directly ahead, is one of the only farm fresh ice cream counters in the area.

It does not take long to realize that Meyer's, 2390 S. Atherton St., is not an ordinary dairy. It is best described as a combination general store/restaurant/dairy. Where else do customers have the choice of sitting in a spacious dining room, or outside in a semi-wooded picnic area to enjoy ice cream made on the same premises?

Regardless of where they eat it, many seem to agree Meyer's ice cream is the best and freshest tasting around.
