Summer’s arrival makes it integral to stay abreast of changes at area malt shops and similar oases. In that light, visitors to St. Charles County might need to consult their Garmins regarding Deters Frozen Custard.

So if you find yourself adventuring in that vicinity and craving Deters’ Mill Creek Turtle (caramel, hot fudge and pecans) or Maple Petootie (Vermont maple, pecans and marshmallow), double-check your GPS readout. Then plot a course accordingly – and get set for some frozen relief from the heat index.
