Blue Bell Events

Looking for ways to keep cool? Of course. Well, here is the best way to keep from overheating this month: ice cream. And lots of it. Blue Bell is hosting free scoop events in July to commemorate National Ice Cream Month and the release of its newest–and super summery flavor–Caramel Kettle Crunch. Here’s the scoop (ha!):
Popcorn & A Movie
Thursday, July 8 – MADCAP Theaters
730 South Mill Ave.,  Tempe
3:30 – 5:30 pm
Downtown Tempe’s MADCAP Theaters celebrate school-free days with a summer kids’ movie series. Now through mid-August, young ones and parents can escape the heat Wednesday through Friday while taking in one of their favorite kid flicks. On Thurs., July 8 Blue Bell will serve up “popcorn” before the movie in the form of Caramel Kettle Crunch. Open to public, this free event will take place inside the theater’s concessions before the 4 pm showing of “Shark Tale.” Movie tickets are available for only $2.
