Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
Participants can join by downloading the official Ice Cream Trail map from the Washington County Government website or picking up a copy at any participating shop. The map outlines each location on the trail, guiding visitors on their journey to taste unique ice cream flavors across the county. Participants are required to collect a stamp at each location to document their visit.
Once the trail is completed, participants must submit their stamped maps online or by mail. Those who finish the trail by the deadline will be rewarded with a commemorative t-shirt, recognizing their dedication and support of local establishments.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Ice Cream Trail also maintains an online presence through its dedicated Facebook group, where trail-goers can share experiences and updates. For more details, including downloading the map and participation instructions, individuals can visit the official county website or contact the Public Relations and Marketing Department for further assistance.
