Nothing beats back the sweltering Florida heat like a frosty ice cream cone. And in this economy, the only thing better is a FREE ice cream cone. This Tuesday, in celebration of National Ice Cream Month, Tanya & Matt's Ice Creamiest in West Shore Plaza and Colonial Promenade Northdale offer free single scoop cones of its deliciously delicious homemade ice cream (40 flavors to choose from) throughout the day. At the Northdale store, customers also enjoy the live construction of Florida's largest ice cream cone, ice cream eating contests, prizes and giveaways, face painting, a live ice carving demo, and live music. Tues., July 22, noon-6 p.m., 250 Westshore Plaza, Tampa, and 15742 N. Dale Mabry, Tampa, icecreamiest.com.
