Free Cone Day: Local Ben & Jerry's

Is a free ice-cream cone in your immediate future?

Tuesday an annual tradition comes back to the Hudson Valley.

For the past 38 years, Ben & Jerry’s has opened Scoop Shops to dish out free ice cream to fans as a thank you. The tradition has continued to grow, beginning in the small state of Vermont, and now spanning across the globe.

There are two Scoop Shops in the Hudson Valley: in Mount Kisco and in West Nyack.

Ben & Jerry’s in Rockland is located at 1000 Palisades Center Drive. Free Cone Day will run there from noon to 8 p.m., store officials said.

"We love getting involved with and giving back to our communities. It’s amazing what we can do together over shared values and several scoops of ice cream," said Travis Adams, District Manager, Ben & Jerry’s of West Nyack, NY. Ben & Jerry’s has been a longtime advocate of social causes like marriage equality and
climate justice, and ensuring that their ice cream is made in the best way possible which includes sourcing Fairtrade and non-GMO ingredients.

In addition to dishing out the chunks and swirls, Ben & Jerry’s of West Nyack will make a donation to local organization Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson to support the amazing work they do within the community.
