WESTBOROUGH, MA— Spring is here and slowly but surely the days are growing warmer. But what makes it spring in Westborough? Patch asked you in a Facebook post and boy, did we get a response.

What says spring better than a sweet ice cream treat? While there are plenty of places to grab a good cone, readers specifically shouted out Dairy Queen and Uhlman's Ice Cream as their go-to spots. Both locations opened in March. Dairy Queen is located at 18 Summer St. and Uhlman's is located at 232 East Main St.
