The first week of school is exciting and sometimes stress-producing. One way to make the week less stressful is to go for an after-school sweet treat! We visited several great places around the Augusta River Region where kids and parents can celebrate going back to school with an ice cream, rock candy, gourmet chocolates or French-style macarons. Whatever your option, we’ve got you covered! The list below has all the information you need.
