Cool Down, Ellicott City: Free Slurpee Day

With rain and clouds and temperatures still in the 70s, it may not feel like summer is anywhere in sight. 

But one unmistakable sign of summer has arrived: Free Slurpee Day.

Visit the 7-Eleven store on , or between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. today and take home the chain's signature cold, slushy drink for free.

The annual marketing event coincides this year with the roll-out of a sugar-free version of the drink, the Fanta Sugar-free Mango flavor.

If "mango" is too ho-hum for your taste and you prefer a less obvious name-flavor relationship, there's always "Battle Fuel," "Blue Lightning Blast," and "Alienade."
