While I personally believe any, and every, day is a great day for ice cream, this Sunday - July 17, 2022, is National Ice Cream Day! In fact, the month of July is Ice Cream Month! So, I thought in honor of this most tasty of months and days, I'd share some fun facts with you and information about where you will find free ice cream! First the "scoop" on the fun facts . . .

- 90% of American households eat ice cream.
- However; the biggest ice cream sundae was created in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1988 . . . it weighted 24 tons.
- The most popular flavor of ice cream is vanilla followed by chocolate, strawberry and cookies n’ cream.
- Ice cream cones were invented during 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, when large demand forced an ice cream vendor to find help from a nearby waffle vendor.
