Ben
& Jerry’s 34th Annual “Free Cone Day,” held on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at
the District at Green Valley Ranch and Sunset Station Hotel & Casino Scoop
Shops was a great success, giving away more than 6,500 free cones! Each year, the Henderson shops enlist the
help of local celebrities to scoop ice cream to benefit children’s charities,
and this year, the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum and St. Jude’s Ranch for
Children earned more than $2,000 in combined donations over the course of the
day’s event.
