Local Social – June 2024

By |Published On: June 15, 2024|

Our favorite recent social media posts about State College, shared by people who love it here.

We’ll take any opportunity we can to shout out the great things happening locally (and the cool people capturing the experiences that make our town so lovable and livable!) Enjoy this roundup of recent noteworthy posts we thought you’d like as much as we did.

Here’s what we’ve double tapped lately:

It’s Restaurant Week!

The drool-worthy plates shared by @happyvalleyrestaurantweek are one reason we’re keeping our lunch and dinner plans open this week. Just look at @tavern_restaurant Chef Brandin’s frisée and arugula salad with a blood orange vinaigrette and topped with honey whipped ricotta, toasted almonds and seared scallops. “Hey, chef! Keep the wine chilled and save us a seat on the outdoor deck!”

That summertime block party vibe…

The scene from the fourth annual Rhoneymeade Fest block party was captured by @rhoneymeadefest. If there’s any doubt why this festival has become a never-miss local summertime event, just take a look at that photo again.

Don’t have to tell us twice…

Every summer, we wait anxiously for strawberry season and thankfully we have Farmer Jason from @wayfruitfarm to let us know as soon as the berries are perfect for picking!

K2 Roots is moving and expanding!

One of our favorite businesses downtown, @k2roots, is opening a new one-stop “shop” on Garner Street which will serve their fresh juices, smoothies and bowls alongside wellness services like lymphatic drainage and infrared sauna sessions. “Can I interest you in a cold plunge with your juice?” “Why yes, you can!” We can’t wait to check it out!

Too much fun…

Add another reason to love our local kindergarten teachers because this ABC’s of Summer in Happy Valley list is incredible! Spring Creek Elementary kindergarten teacher, Katie Narber, made this fabulous list of 26 things to do in the area and @happyvalleyhannah shared it with her followers. With more than 200 likes and 31 comments, it’s obvious this post got a lot of us planning. BONUS: there’s even more ideas from Katie, here!
