Every year, spring brings warm sunlight, cool breezes and this sweet freebie from Rita’s. The sweet shop is celebrating the start of spring by giving customers a FREE cup of Italian Ice. They’ve been hosting the giveaway for more than 25 years and, for many bargain hunters, it’s become an annual tradition in kicking off the start of the season.
