So you had to get an extension on your taxes -- bummer. We know what can cheer you up -- free ice cream! That's right, it's free cone day at Ben & Jerry's from 12pm until 8pm. Brave the lines, take advantage of the fact that it's not raining (at least not now) and get yourself some comfort in a cone. We've been in past years, and although the lines can be tough at certain locations, we were placated immediately as soon as that free scoop of coffee toffee crunch was in our clutches.
Check their website to find the branch nearest you, and be sure to send us pictures and/or reports from the field!
