Free Cone Day is being held to thank customers for their support and also to raise money for the Roy Maas Youth Alternatives. Any tips and donations will be made to that program.

A news release states that Free Cone Day dates back to 1979.

“To celebrate their first year in business and thank the local community for their support, the co-founders decided to open the doors and scoop free ice cream. It wasn’t just a taste. It wasn’t just one flavor. It was all the ice cream the duo could churn out. They called it ‘Free Cone Day’ – and just like that… an annual celebration was born,” the release states.
