Ben & Jerry’s annual Free Cone Day was scheduled for April 3, but tornadoes forced some local shops to play a make-up game, and that making up goes down today.
Three local shops are partaking in the festivities: Plano, McKinney and the Shops of Highland Village.
The Plano store has lined up some interesting/celebrity scoopers. Mark Fistric of the Dallas Stars will scoop at 1 p.m. Kent Rathbun will be there at 4 p.m., and Moe Prigoff from A&E’s Storage Wars Texas from 5 to 7 p.m.
This event benefits the Susan G. Komen North Texas Affiliates (with sales beyond what gets scooped for free) — a partnership that, given recent events, may not have happened before the hippies at Ben & Jerry’s were bought out a decade a go.
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Ben & Jerry’s spokeswoman Liz Stewart says “looking beyond the recent controversy, Susan G Komen does do a lot of great things for communities. So we’re happy with the partnership.”
