Spring Treat

First Day of Spring Freebies

March 19, 2018 By Lisa Grigsby

Who cares if the weather forecasters are predicting snow for the first day of spring.  Celebrating with a frosty treat has become tradition to welcome in the season and here are some of the eateries that are offering you free deals:

Start Spring Off Right—with FREE Italian Ice!

Every year Rita’s  celebrate the first day of spring by giving away free Italian Ice. That’s right, for over 20 years they’ve treated each and every Guest to a free Italian Ice. It’s a Rita’s Tradition. Just their way of kicking off the season—and spreading a little happiness.

Get your FREE Italian Ice from Rita’s on  Tuesday, March 20 from noon to 9 pm at 3371 East Stroop Road in Kettering, just west of The Greene.  The first day of spring only comes around once a year, so make it delicious!

 

What better way to celebrate the return of (hopefully) warmer weather than with a free ice cream cone?

Dairy Queen agrees and is giving away free ice cream cones to celebrate!

Participating non-mall Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill locations across the U.S. will celebrate the Fourth Annual Free Cone Day on Tuesday.  Ice cream fans will enjoy a free small vanilla soft serve cone with the signature DQ curl on top (limit one per customer while supplies last). At the same time, participating locations also will collect donations for local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Last year,  Dairy Queen contributed nearly $300,000 in one day for local hospitals.

To celebrate the beginning of spring, DQ is offering a free small vanilla cone tomorrow
And one to look forward to:
Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s  will be on Tuesday, April 10, so be sure to mark your calendars and grab your friends!
