Friday, March 20th is the first day of Spring! It also means, that it's the first day that Gifford's Ice Cream will open, and that means that Gifford's Ice Cream stands throughout the state, including the one on Broadway will be giving away small (two-scoop) ice cream cones for free from 6 to 8 PM! So never mind that it will be in the lower 20's... There's free ice cream!

If you're like me, and don't want to wait outside in the cold, for free ice cream, take heart! Gifford's is offering a special price on any of their new flavors from March 20th until April 5th for just $1.99! That $1.99 gets you a small (two-scoop) cone or dish of Blueberry Pancake, Cookie Dough Coffee Break, Double Chocolate Almond, Mississippi Mud Pie, , Strawberry Frozen Yogurt,  and Coffee Heathbar Crunch Frozen Yogurt.

Gifford's is also introducing three new flavors later on in the year, Cherry Blossom, Rocky Road and Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet.
