Support small businesses and your sweet tooth by Julia Egler
Summer is here, so indulge in a sweet treat or two! Bringing someone sweets in the summer is the best gift; even better, bring them to the sweets. Our area is filled with many options from ice cream to chocolates to pastries and some savory sides, too.
Creative Creamery
Creative Creamery is now open on weekends in historic downtown Siler City until 9:30pm. They have spectacular stuffed milkshakes, which include a variety of toppings and themed shakes to celebrate the season. They have a s’mores, banana split, and salty caramel truffle shake, plus scoops of ice cream flavors, and even some sugar-free options.
