AKRON, Ohio – People hit the road for beer trails, so why not for sweets and treats?
The Akron/Summit Convention & Visitors Bureau is launching the Summit Sweet Stroll, a collection of 20 ice cream, popcorn and candy stores throughout Summit County.
ASCVB’s initiative starts Saturday, Aug. 2.
It’s similar to the region’s popular beer-passport program, the Summit Brew Path. Here’s how it works: Pick up a passport at any participating shop. Visit and buy something at each location to earn a passport stamp. Collect a stamp from at least 16 locations, then submit passports to the ASCVB offices and receive a limited-edition ice-cream scoop and entry into the $250 grand-prize package.
Note: The stroll also has a digital version of the passport. Participants can choose to complete the stroll with either the digital or printed version, but combinations will not be accepted.
ASCVB is at 77 E. Mill St. (John S. Knight Center), Akron.
