Free Rita’s Ice today!

Mark the First Day of Spring with FREE Italian Ice!

For the past 19 plus years, Rita’s has been giving away a free, regular size Italian Ice to each and every guest to mark the first day of spring! This is a sweet date for Italian Ice lovers, as each year, hundreds of thousands of our guests visit Rita’s in search of the first taste of spring. In fact, in 2011, Rita’s guests showed their spring spirit and over 1.2 million cups of Italian Ice were given away in a ten hour period!

We are already gearing up to celebrate the arrival of spring in 2012! A springtime tradition, Rita’s annual giveaway will be held on Tuesday, March 20 from noon to 9 p.m. at all open Rita’s locations. This is surely a tasty tradition that you won’t want to miss! So be sure to stop by your local Rita’s location and celebrate the arrival of spring on us!

Happy 101st anniversary Girl Scouts!

Girl Scouts of the USA is the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls—all girls—where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world.  Today Girl Scouts celebrate their anniversary.  In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, like leadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.

The best way to honor Girl Scout Day is to volunteer in the community.  Bake a batch of cookies for the local fire or police department.  Pick up trash in the neighborhood – spend your time giving to someone in need. Or buy a box of Girl Scout cookies or donate a box to our troops.

Play with Dr. Seuss!
