Free Ben & Jerry's ice cream!

Whatcha doin’ today? Wanna get some free ice cream? Head on down
to your local Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop for their annual “free cone
day”. According to the wikipedia:


Ben
& Jerry’s Free Cone Day is an annual event, held in late April or
early May, in which Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops give out free ice
cream cones all day. Over one million free cones are given away each
year. Charitable organizations are often present at the stores each
year and enjoy a significant amount of fundraising success. The first
Free Cone Day was held on May 5, 1979. It was done by Ben and Jerry as
a customer and staff appreciation event for the one year anniversary of
their ice cream store’s opening, and has continued ever since.


According to the Ben & Jerry’s web site, the free ice cream will
be available from noon until 8pm. The site also has a handy tool to
help you find a shop near you.

Chris,

Thank you for posting this, this morning. Me, Becky and Kaylynn and a few of my friends enjoyed our free cone here in College Station this evening.

Thanks for the heads up. We didn't get to a store. The new baby is keeping us at home, but thanks. dt
