On the Coffee & Dessert tour, which ends on Sunday, you can have fun road trips. Earlier we mentioned going to Duncannon to 3 Pups Bakery and then heading to Shermansdale for ice cream at Twin Kiss.

Let’s do that! First up: Head to Duncannon! Found right on the square, 3 Pups Bakery’s motto is “Baked with love for paws and humans”! That means you get some fresh baked goodies for your pups and for yourself! They also work with you on special orders! For the Coffee and Dessert Tour they are providing $2.00 off of a $10.00 order. Sounds like something for both the pets and you is in order!

Now off to Shermansdale - right next to the Shell gas station! Turn into Twin Kiss’ parking lot and begin to try to make a decision about what we want. Keep in mind the offer for the tour is 15% off of your entire order! What did you choose: Soft serve? Hand-dipped? Sundae? Milk shake? How about one of each!!!
