For National Ice Cream Month, a “cow” mascot will join PETA to churn out free nondairy desserts for passersby in Kansas City, as a reminder that delicious vegan treats are as sweet to cows as they are to us. It’s estimated that half of Americans buy dairy-free milk and that vegan ice creams are growing 26.5% year over year.

When:    Wednesday, July 28, 3 p.m.

Where:    The intersection of Broadway Boulevard and W. 47th Street, Kansas City
