STORRS, Conn. — With temperatures still in the 90s many people are cooling off with a sweet treat. UConn Dairy Barn has seen an increase in foot traffic in the last few days because of this. 

From little kiddos to adults, many people in the northeast region flocked to UConn Dairy Barn to cool off.  

“I think everybody just wants ice cream on this hot day,” said Avery Fazio. 

“We just love coming here, especially on a hot night like tonight,” said Forrest Shirghio. 

With temperatures staying in the 90’s there’s a chance for a potential heat wave. 

“It’s surprising. I thought it would finally start to feel like fall. Hopefully just one more week of this kind of weather,” said Fazio.

“We’ll be back tomorrow too,” said Shirghio.
