McDonald's launches new McFlurry for a limited time. Here's what to know

Miami Herald2 days ago

Fans of McDonald's McFlurrys can soon stick their spoons in a new summertime treat.
The Hershey's S'mores McFlurry arrives Tuesday, June 10, at participating McDonald's restaurants nationwide, according to the Chicago-based burger chain.
'It's time to gather around the campfire because summer just got sweeter,' McDonald's said in a release.
The hand-spun treat combines vanilla soft serve with Hershey's milk chocolate, graham cracker crumbles and marshmallows, according to a product description. Pricing information wasn't immediately available.
It marks the newest item to join McDonald's menu and comes nearly a week after the restaurant teased the return of its beloved snack wrap, set to launch July 10. The single-serve wraps were discontinued at U.S. restaurants in 2016 but remained on menus in Canada and abroad.
'Fans never gave up on the Snack Wrap, inspiring the ultimate comeback,' McDonald's said on its website.
Customers can grab a s'mores McFlurry, snack wrap and other menu favorites this summer as the burger giant offers extended late-night hours. Much of the menu will be available, though offerings will depend on individual franchisees, Nation's Restaurant News reported.
The Hershey's S'mores McFlurry is available for a limited time though McDonald's didn't say for how long.

Preps under way for Chicago's Puerto Rican Fest amid concerns about ICE

The 44th annual Fiestas Patronales Puertorriqueñas takes over Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood beginning Thursday. The Puerto Rican Festival and cultural celebration has been around for decades. But this year, there are new concerns as agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue to round up undocumented immigrants. As tents went up Wednesday in the park of Humboldt Park, those involved said safety and security were top of mind for both the parade and festival. "We're very excited, you know, to celebrate," said Puerto Rican Fest organizer Melissa Gomez. "This is our 44th year for the festival." Equipment checks were happening Wednesday on the main stage, where 15 musical acts will entertain the masses Thursday through Sunday. There are also carnival rides and attractions, and of course, the food. "We have many of our classic food vendors our Ponce [Restaurant] with the alcapurrias [banana dumplings stuffed with pork] — and we have some new additions here too," said Gomez. This is also the 47th year for the Puerto Rican People's Day Parade in the community. On Saturday, the parade starts at noon at the corner of Division Street and Campbell Avenue. This year, pueblos, or towns, on the island of Puerto Rico will be represented at the parade — showcasing their heritage and culture. "On our fiestas float for the Puerto Rican Fest, we will have all 78 towns represented with their flag, with a flag holder who is from that town," said Gomez. Chicago police said they will have additional resources in place to ensure the safety of those attending the event and those, living and working in the area. Meanwhile, Ald. Jessie Fuentes (26th) said security for the festival is a top priority. "We work on safety months in advance," Fuentes said. "We've been meeting for the last six months with CPD, violence prevention organizations and the private security firm that the festival producers hire." Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. But Ald. Fuentes said there are also concerns for those of Latino heritage who are not Puerto Rican and may want to attend the festivities — amid recent ICE raids in the city. "We have this particular event fenced. It's a private event by ticket sales. ICE just can't come in here, right?" said Fuentes. "And so we want to make sure that residents and anyone who want to frequent the festival understands that they are safe in this park. Unless ICE has a judicial warrant of any sort, they cannot just walk into this festival and start taking people." Ald. Fuentes also said if there are ICE sightings at the festival, people will be made aware — and a trained member of a deportation defense group would be called in to help.

'Sadly, largely true': Ex-Newsboys singer speaks on sexual assault allegations

'Sadly, largely true': Ex-Newsboys singer speaks on sexual assault allegations Michael Tait, former lead singer of Christian rock band Newsboys, has admitted to wrongdoing after allegations of sexual assault surfaced. Tait, 59, took to social media on June 10 to share his side of the story, telling fans in a statement titled "My Confession" that a recent report detailing his drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are "sadly, largely true." "For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them," he wrote. "I will simply call it what God calls it-sin." Tait's admission comes nearly a week after his bandmates released their own statement addressing the allegations highlighted in a years-long investigation by Christian media outlet The Roys Report. Three men, who were all 22 at the time of their encounters, told the outlet that Tait befriended them and later engaged in non-consensual sexual acts with them. Tait made friends with the men while on tour in 2004, 2010 and 2014, according to The Roys Report. "Last night, our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait," the Nashville-based band shared in a June 5 statement. "While Michael has not addressed these allegations, we are devastated even by the implications." The statement continued: "First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault." Who is Michael Tait? Tait was the former lead singer of Australian-formed Christian rock band Newsboys. The four-time Grammy-award winning vocalist replaced original member Peter Furler as the group's new lead vocalist in 2009. Tait officially left the group in January 2025 after 15 years. Before he performed with Newsboys, Tait was a founding member of DC Talks, a Christian rap and rock trio, that released five major studio albums together. Newsboys 'horrified, heartbroken, and angry' by report Tait's bandmates were "horrified, heartbroken, and angry" to learn of the accusations made in the report, writing in the statement that they felt as though they and their families were "deceived for the last fifteen years." "The four of us are husbands and fathers. Between the four of us, we have fourteen children," the band said in the statement. "Our wives and children have made many sacrifices while we have dedicated our lives to playing music together that glorifies God." In the statement, Newsboys members also revealed that Tait confessed to them and management that he had "been living a double-life" when he abruptly left the band in January. Tait, who said he does not blame anyone or anything besides himself, said he left Newsboys earlier this year "to get help." "I was not healthy, physically or spiritually, and tired of leading a double life," Tait wrote. "I spent six weeks at a treatment center in Utah, receiving help that may have saved my life from ultimate destruction. I have been clean and sober since, though I still lots of hard work ahead of me." Read Michael Tait's full statement Contributing: Marcus K. Dowling, The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network

Loving Giving Local: Rhoxon Productions

Movie enthusiasts will benefit from this week's Loving Giving Local donation. A local movie production company that sponsors a film festival is this week's recipient. Rhoxon Productions got a financial gift from Auto Express Resale Center. Rhoxon is an Erie-based non-profit independent film company that creates organic stories that promote a positive change. Besides creating art, Rhoxon strives to create jobs and educational opportunities in the film industry. 'Our last few projects have been about healing and about coping, and our next two are about revamping the social justice system,' said Katie Nixon, RhoxonProductions co-founder. 'That's sort of our creative endeavors, and we also create educational opportunities for people to learn how to do this professionally.' Nixon says Rhoxon has a vision of creating 50 new jobs in the film industry here. And she insists you no longer have to be on the East or West Coast to have a film career. 'No, the landscape has changed so much. Even Netflix has created their new studio out in Jersey. It's not just that you have be in New York or LA,' she explained. 'Erie is kinda a really interesting place. You have beach, you have woods, you have city, you have country all within 15 minutes of each other.' That landscape diversity, Nixon said, makes Northwest Pennsylvania the perfect place for shooting movies. This week's Loving Giving Local donation will help support an upcoming film festival. Nixon said, 'We started the only multi-genre film festival here in Erie. It's the Lake Effect Film Festival, which will be in September. So that money will go to help make that event possible.' After making his check presentation, Joe Askins of Auto Express Resale Center said, 'We're pretty fortunate to have Rhoxon in our community and they're already doing great things. So for us to be able to deliver loving giving local and to learn the donation we bring is going toward their film festival, that's what Loving Giving Local is all about,' Askins said.
