Ice Cream Social at USFSPFree. June 30, 2 p.m. University Student Center, 140 USFSP Harborwalk S., St. Petersburg. 727-873-5180. Event on Facebook.
USF St. Petersburg has a big chunk of my money, and, in all probability, they may have something to do with your close, personal relationship with a lady named Sallie. No way will you recoup all that interest by eating a few bowls of ice cream, but hey, ice cream. For free, so long as you qualify as “USFSP alumni, students, staff, faculty, community partners,” which, I think, means everyone within striking distance of this paper, right? To celebrate 50 years of educating those of us scared to cross the bridge for an education — or those of us who simply loved the campus and the programs — USFSP has a free (well, less than 6.25 percent) Ice Cream Social planned for Thursday, complete with over 50 toppings. Now, no word on how many flavors, but when you can top your ice cream with crushed Oreos (we hope!), does it matter?
