Photo of the Week: National Ice Cream Day

Sarah HattmanBlog, Marketing, Photo of the Week, , , , , ,

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream month? Better yet, did you know that this Sunday, July 17, is National Ice Cream Day? It’s true! In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month and established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month of July.

Now that you know, don’t you wish you could get a Blizzard the size of the one in the picture? While that might not be possible, be sure to stop by a Triangle Dairy Queen location (Clairemont client) to join the celebration by picking up a Blizzard, hot dessert from the new DQBakes! à la mode menu, cone, sundae, Dilly Bar or classic treat.

What’s your favorite Blizzard? Connect with us Facebook and let us know.
