DQ celebrating birthday with 85-cent Blizzards
From March 24 to April 6, select Dairy Queen locations will offer small Blizzards for just 85 cents. Customers can receive the offer by using the DQ Rewards app, redeeming the offer and making at least a $1 minimum purchase.
Maria Hokanson, executive vice president of marketing at American Dairy Queen Corporation, said the company wants its fans to celebrate with discounted fan favorites.
'For 85 years, we have been serving up smiles, sweet traditions and the most iconic frozen treats around,' said Hokanson. 'We figured what better way to celebrate this milestone than by giving our fans even more reason to indulge in their favorite flavors by offering them an 85-cent Blizzard.'
Once the promotion begins, you are encouraged to contact your local DQ location to see if they are participating. To find a DQ near you, click here.

Port Colborne's iconic Dairy Queen sign shines again after decades in the dark
A beloved piece of Main Street history returned to the Port Colborne skyline this week as the Dairy Queen was reinstalled and lit up for the first time in more than 40 years. The neon sign, which sat dark for decades , was lifted back onto the roof of the long-standing ice cream bar Wednesday following months of effort by owner Rick Wilsher, local officials and members of the community. 'It hasn't been repaired or lit in over 40 years,' Wilsher said. 'Bylaws prevented that from happening.' The sign's restoration wasn't just a matter of maintenance; it took political effort and community collaboration to bring it back to life. Wilsher said a developer friend of his has contacts in politics. He also credited support from local city councillors Gary Bruno and Ron Bodner, as well as funding through the community improvement program, which covered half the cost of removing the sign for repairs. 'They approached me and said, under the facade and improvement program, we'll allow you to take the sign off for repair, and (the city) paid half,' Wilsher explained. 'And here we are.' The sign was restored in Niagara Falls and transported back to Port Colborne early Wednesday morning. It was lit that night, with local photographer Chris de Laat, known for his 'Cool September Night at Dairy Queen' print, on hand to capture the moment. An official relighting ceremony is planned for Sept. 13. Wilsher said there will be a street party and Sunday event featuring a mini parade of vintage cars to mark the store's 70 years in business. 'It's basically the community throughout the ages (that) have demanded it stay the way it is,' he said. Wilsher also shared that this Dairy Queen is the only royalty-free location in Canada, a unique arrangement that dates back to the store's original owner, John Sergnese. 'Every time they would threaten him with legal action about upgrading his store, he told them, 'see you in court', and it never happened,' Wilsher said. To honour that legacy, Rick will be placing a memorial bench out front, using the front end of a 1955 Chrysler, to commemorate Sergnese's impact. 'This is a special day for me today,' he said. Error!
