The all-day celebration runs Sunday, February 15, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Walrus Ice Cream, 125 W. Mountain Ave. Guests who bring any size OtterBox tumbler can have it filled with four scoops of house-made ice cream for $10. Vegan options are available, though toppings are not included in the promotion.

Beyond the ice cream deal, the event adds a festive, family-friendly atmosphere to downtown Fort Collins. Visitors can stop by a photo booth at the Otter Shop, take part in arts-and-crafts activities at Walrus Ice Cream, and meet Ollie the Otter and Wally the Walrus, who will be greeting guests between 2 and 5 p.m. along Mountain Avenue.

Organizers encourage attendees to follow @ottershop and @walrusicecream on Instagram for additional updates and event details.
