Get ready to pile high a few scoops of ice cream! That’s exactly what Tracy and Amber did this morning on Indy Style! It’s all part of the 26th Annual Ice Cream Social on Monument Circle to celebrate National Ice Cream month and help benefit Girls Inc!
Here is everything you need to know to “get your scoop on” and support a good cause while doing it!
