New Jersey ice cream tour features 12 shops across the state – and prizes!
Ice cream fans, this one is for you.
"I Licked My Way Through NJ," an ice cream tour featuring 12 shops from Passaic County to Cape May County, kicks off Saturday, June 1. Organized by New Jersey members of the North American Ice Cream Association, the tour runs through Sunday, Aug. 18.
Here's how it works: Participants pick up a booklet at any participating ice cream shop, then visit as many as they can. The booklet gets stamped along the way: four stamps earns a free small scoop, eight stamps a medium, and 12 stamps earns a large ice cream and a tour T-shirt.
Once completed, booklets can be mailed to Randy's Homemade Ice Cream in Pompton Lakes by Sunday, Sept. 8, for a chance to win one free ice cream treat per week for a year.
