Each day, the NASHtoday team curates the best local happenings, and sometimes an event stops me in my tracks — or, in this case, I should say Moose Tracks.

For every scoop served, $1 will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Can’t make it? Check out our guide to Nashville’s ice cream shops to find your next favorite scoop.
