What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Submitted by paula on Sun, 07/17/2016 - 3:22pmUnknown to many, including those in the ice cream business, today is National Ice Cream Day!

While most don't need a reason to enjoy ice cream, Reagan's move called for the people of the United States to use ceremonies and activities to pay tribute to ice cream.
