Ice cream is delightful on its own, but what about those times when you really want to go all out? John Fladd checks out a few area sundaes, from the classic hot fudge to the ones that go bananas (sometimes, with bananas). Get some ideas for your next sweet, cold treat with this week’s cover story.
Also on the cover The Hillsboro Summer Festival — also called Summerfest — runs Thursday, July 9, through Sunday, July 12. John gets all the details about this weekend of fun (page 14). Michael Witthaus talks to Puppeteers for Fears about their upcoming production of Robopocalypse: The Musical (page 12). And John gets you ready for next weekend’s Pup Crawl, an event supporting the Humane Society for Greater Nashua (page 17).
