10 Ways to Celebrate National Ice Cream Month


A little factoid for you: In 1984 President Reagan proclaimed July to be National Ice Cream Month and July 15th to be National Ice Cream Day. Since then, National Ice Cream Day has been delegated to the 3rd Sunday of July, making it July 20th this year. You can read the official proclamation here. It's so legit it's a bit hilarious. If you do need a reason to celebrate ice cream you have the rest of the month to do it!  We're here with a few ideas to help you party ice cream style, starting with this list of ways to celebrate.

Head out! There are tons of options of great ice cream and dessert places around the state. Here are a couple of lists to check out:
