Take your cow on a summer adventure for an exciting and educational experience.

May 17, 2019

Summer is a time for fun and adventure but as parents, how do we squeeze in time to make sure our kids stay on top of their reading and writing skills?

Chick-fil-A at Creek Town Center came up with a perfect summer program that entices kids to get creative with their adventures and writing skills. 

The Kick-Off Summer party takes place on Monday, May 20th and we will be there to help you decorate your cow!!

Join us as we help celebrate the start to Host-A-Cow 2019 from 5-8pm in the restaurant.  

There will be a balloon artist in the dining room and an Icedream toppings bar for students.  This would be the perfect time to pick up your cow and begin creating family memories. 

Students track the adventures of the cow over the summer using text and photographs in a traditional journal or through social media with a chance to win some really fun and awesome awards and prizes! 

Chick-fil-A Cypress Creek Town Center will share cow adventures throughout the summer both online and in the restaurant.  

The program will be throughout the summer from May 20th- August 12th.

Below are some rules and information about the program that Chick-fil-A shared to help you get pumped up and ready for Summer Fun with 2019 Host-A-Cow!

Registered families receive one Chick-fil-A® plush cow.
