The closest Ben & Jerry's to me is just under 60 miles away - and it doesn't participate!

And speaking of "Free" days, another important free service day is coming up: April 28 is "Free Community Paper Shredding Day" in the United States, courtesy of ShredIt, a commercial shredding service.

Making sure I get my free cone on Free Cone Day is like making sure I vote on Election Day. I grew up in Burlington, VT (home of Ben and Jerry’s).
