Ben & Jerry's 'Free Cone Day' Returns To Foxwoods

MASHANTUCKET, CT – Foxwoods Resort Casino will be the sweet spot for Ben & Jerry’s “Free Cone Day” taking place Tuesday, April 10 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Foxwoods guests are invited to stop by for a cup or a cone of their favorite flavor of ice cream from the two guys that began their journey in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vt. in 1978.

All donations collected during “Free Cone Day” will benefit the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut, according to a release. Ben & Jerry's at Foxwoods is located in the Fox Tower Skywalk.

Since 1979, Ben & Jerry’s has celebrated “Free Cone Day” as a way to say thanks to their awesome fans for another year of support. They have kept it up every year since, spreading peace, love and free ice cream around the world.
