ForMOOitous

According to dictionary.com, the word fortuitous means lucky or fortunate. And, according to me, the word forMOOitous means that you've shown up at Chick-fil-A by 10:00 on a Thursday morning to enjoy the free story-time/craft activity there. Harlan and I did that today and sure are happy we did. Did you miss out on the Come and Play fun? If you did, no worries; it's an every week kinda thing.

The story theme of this week was stars. Several children's books about stars were read, and then, it was craft time. Every child in attendance was offered either a red, white, or blue foam hat, which were purchased at Michael's if you wanna pick one up for yourself. Then, the kids were all given an assortment of red, white, and blue stickers to decorate their hats with. This activity comes just in time for Independence Day and also just before Pay Day in my house, which makes me doubly appreciative of this and every other free kids' activity I can find in Harrisonburg and the surrounding Rockingham County. 

Just when I was feeling good about our decision to come to Chick-fil-A this morning based solely on this amazing hat here, we found out about more cool stuff. First of all, I didn't know about the stamp card. Every Thursday morning that you come to Come and Play time, get that stamp card stamped. Once you collect four stamps, thus filling up your card, you get a free kid's meal. The freebies just keep coming, don't they?

And, I've saved the best, most exciting opportunity for last. I already know you and your family want to have fun in the 'Burg this summer...so why not join the "Cows Around Town" Photo Scavenger Hunt! Just stop by the Harrisonburg Chick-fil-A and ask about it. You'll get a family cow and a sheet that explains the activity. All you have to do is take pictures of the cow with you and your family during your visits to the participating businesses. Then, send the photos via email to kate.cfaharrisonburg.gmail.com. Submit them by August 16th to be eligible for the prizes. Make it a goal to hit all 20 locations this summer, and win the grand prize of a FREE chicken sandwich meal AND a FREE small milkshake. You can't beat that forMOOitous opportunity, now can ya?!
