Free Dairy Queen/Rita's Ice Monday

Take your pick, Middlesex County, or get both: It's free cone day at Dairy Queen and free Italian ice/water ice at Rita's.

Yes, to celebrate the first day of spring (March 20), Rita's Italian Ice (we always call it "water ice") is offering a free Italian ice between noon and 9 p.m. and Dairy Queen is offering a free small vanilla cone. Psst, Rita's will also offer its hard-to-find PEEPS flavor today. Dairy Queen gives away the ice cream as part of a fundraiser for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals; last year Free Cone Day raised $200,000!
