Cool Off with a Scoop of Ice Cream | Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams

All Weekend Long

It’s going to be HOT this weekend — what better way to cool off than with a scoop (or two) of delicious ice cream? This new dairy-free flavor from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is perfect to enjoy on a hot summer’s day. Introducing Lemon Bar: punchy citrus brighter than the midday sun. Salty shortbread crumbles that melt like butter in a hot pan. And their famous coconut cream, more decadent than a five-star restaurant. Forget that this flavor is dairy-free. It’s as good as, if not better than, everything else they make. Now available by the pint in shops and online!

Stock Up on Face Masks | Enchanting Embellishments

All Weekend Long

Starting Friday, July 3 — the City of St. Louis has mandated that masks are required when indoors and outside when social distancing is not possible. If you’re in search of some new masks, head to Enchanting Embellishments. They have several styles of these Frank Lyman masks available, and they’re selling fast! Stay safe in style. Wearing a mask is easy when they look this good.

Take a Virtual Tour | The World Chess Hall of Fame

All Weekend Long

This weekend — take a virtual tour through the World Chess Hall of Fame’s newest exhibition: Drawn Games: Chess Posters from Around the World. This exhibition features posters celebrating important chess tournaments, events, and championships, as well as the placement of the game in movies, concerts, and more.
