Illinois Dairy Queen Locations Passing Out Dilly Bars for National Ice Cream Day

Ice cream is always a good idea, but free ice cream is a better idea. You can score some free frozen treats on National Ice Cream Day from Dairy Queen.

As a Midwesterner I appreciate all four seasons of the year, in fact the one year of my life that I lived in L.A. and didn't have seasons was one of my least favorites! We need the seasons so we know when to double our ice cream intake.

July is National Ice Cream Month and July 21 is National Ice Cream Day! There are so many great places for ice cream in the Stateline area, so hopefully as we get closer to July 21, we'll see how each of them is celebrating the delicious holiday but for now we'll just have to prep for some free dilly bars.

According to People, Dairy Queen is hooking us up with Dilly Bars for the occasion.
