Andy's Frozen Custard is giving away a year's worth of custard, along with various other prizes from downtown Springfield merchants for Springfield's Birthplace of Route 66 Festival.

The 10th annual Birthplace of Route 66 festival is Thursday-Saturday. And Andy's is one of this year's newest partners.

The Andy's Frozen Custard Downtown Passport competition encourages folks — Springfieldians and visitors for the festival — to support local business.

To participate, visit one Springfield Andy's location and scan the QR code displayed on the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival poster. Then, check in at six of the 18 participating downtown Springfield merchants. Scan the QR codes displayed on their posters, too. Purchases from downtown businesses are not required for participation.

Once you have scanned one Andy's code and six downtown business codes, you'll be entered into a drawing to win a year's worth of Andy's and other prizes from local businesses, including gift cards.

Tom Mast, Birthplace of Route 66 Festival committee member, said the "year's worth" of Andy's is awarded as a concrete every week, 52 concretes for the year.
