If you're a fan of ice cream, Sunday's your day. July 17 is National Ice Cream Day. To celebrate, ice cream shops and makers are offering deals, freebies and other goodies to salute the frozen treat.

President Ronald Reagan inaugurated the celebration in 1984, designating July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day.
