Celebrate Spring With A Free Cone At Quad Cities DQ’s

Spring has sprung! You're going to pry hear that for the next week or so. You wouldn't know it if you step outside today. Spring officially arrives at 11:15 a.m. (or something like that).

When I was a kid, one of the sure signs of spring was the Dairy Queen opening up at the top of my block on Locust Street in Davenport. That's when I learned everything was right with the world, because I could get out my bike or my skateboard, baseball season was right around the corner, and the days would get longer so I could hang out with my friends until the street lights came on at like 8:30 p.m.

According to KWQC, Dairy Queen is celebrating the beginning of spring with a free small cone at participating, non-mall stores. Dairy Queen will also be collecting donations for the Children's Miracle Network. Last year, DQ contributed almost $300,000.

I can still make the famous DQ curl.
