So yesterday we had a Spirit Night for Socastee Elementary. They have new administration who really got behind the effort and I must say, it was AWESOME! We started out by going to the school at the end of the day with the Cows.
Here are the Cows getting ready to head out to the buses and car riders.
They were stopped in the hallways on the way there.
The kids were fascinated with the Cow's nose for some reason.
Hi Fives and Hugs! Oh Yeah!
Showing some love for the car riders.
The Spirit Night itself started at 6 pm.
We had students write down their names and their teacher's name while they were there. The class who had the most attendance won a Free Nugget Party! Congratulations to Ms. Doughty's class for having the most students attend with 10 from their class!
Lots of eating and great conversation taking place.
This is Simon Keays. He's the Assistant Principal at Socastee Elementary.
Simon was volunteered to dance with the cows on this evening. Little did we know it was going to turn into a DANCE PARTY!!!
And of course no Spirit Night is complete without a little Cow Bean Bag Toss!
This was seriously one of the best Spirit Nights we've ever had as far as turnout and participation. Thank you to Socastee Elementary School, Ms. Colliver and the entire staff for your support. A HUGE thanks to all the parents and kids who came out and partied with us. You guys are AWESOME!!!
We also had Madden and NCAA Football available in the dining room for our customers to enjoy while they were hanging out.
The Socastee High School Cheerleaders stopped by during lunch to add a little extra entertainment for our guests and those who were passing by on Hwy. 544.
The Cow decided to get out and get a picture with the cheerleaders.
The Cow even decided to rock out a little bit by the road for the folks who were traveling.
And boy how the Cows showed up. We went to Dr. Ross's office this past Wednesday for their Patient Appreciation Day. They wanted to say thank you to their patients for everything and they figured the best way to do it would be with the Cows and some chicken! We couldn't have agreed more. We showed up at 2 o'clock with nuggets, fruit, plush cows, balloons, coupons and the Cows. Everyone loved the food but I think they enjoyed the Cows even more. Here are a few highlights from our time there.
The Kid Cow decided she would head over to get in on some of the action.
And here is the result of that.
To get back at the cops the Cows hijacked one of their ATV's and rode off through the parking lot. Lesson learned, don't ever trust a Cow with keys to anything.
After the beach party we headed back to the store for our second Lemon Squeezing Contest of the week. This time it was Kyle from 
After the Lemon Squeezing Contest Megan got a chance to go on the air with WMBF News and talk about our Sandcastle Building Kid's Night we were having later that day. Way to go Megan!
We did a blitz in Market Common at 2:00 that was amazing. We rode through Market Common with both doors of the van open, Michael Jackson blasting from the radio, Cows dancing in the street, food flying out the van and calling everyone to join us with a megaphone! Apparently we were having so much fun I forgot to get pictures. Oops!
WEDNESDAY
After Lakewood we went to the Kohl's shopping center and passed out some sandwiches there. No pictures from this one because we were so busy. Sorry.
Later that evening we set up for our Raving Fans Dinner. We invited three of our Raving Fans to come in at different times and bring 10 guests with them for a formal sit down style dinner. Here is Musu showing off the table setting while we were finishing the setup.
And here is a shot from table level. The guests loved the setting and atmosphere and I've actually heard from other people that they've been talking about it since then. Awesome!
THURSDAY
The Kid Cow even found a golf cart that she loved in the golf cart sales building.
The Cow found a tractor that he wanted to take home but we couldn't fit it in the back of the truck. Sorry Cow.
We even found some out-of-towners with a golf cart that caught our eye.
After leaving Ocean Lakes we headed down to the Surfside Town Complex to finish off the rest of the sandwiches. The Kid Cow had a great time with the firefighters playing dress up.
The fun times came to an end for the Kid Cow though when she got booked in jail. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
Thursday Night was 80's Night! We decorated the store in 80's attire, had 80's video games, 
FRIDAY
After the Cows jumped in I decided I needed a dip myself. After some peer pressure Megan decided she needed one too. Here we are after the pool. Good times!
To finish off the evening we did a dinner for the kids from the Horry County Shelter Home. We picked them up in a limo and brought them out for a sit down fine dining experience. The kids had a fantastic time and they even got to see the Cows do the Thriller Dance one more time. All in all it was a fantastic week and it was great to end the whole time with the dinner. It really sums up our hearts here at Chick-fil-A of Surfside and our desire to build lasting relationships. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work and thanks to you, our customers and friends, for coming out and making this week all it was.
The dining room was a hopping place to be.
Zach seemed to be enjoying the crowd thoroughly.
The Cow was dancing his heart out.
Here are the wonderful faces greeting you as you came in the door.
And a few faces from the other door.
The whole event started at 3 o'clock and by the time it arrived the kids were ready to go.
And here is easily the best picture of the day. Everyone at the starting spot as we said 'GO'!
Looks like Wyatt was also getting in on the action of wearing the green.
Kyra also did some great decorations around the store. I love the cow's halo of shamrocks.
We have also been doing free green sprinkles all day for anyone who wants them on their Icedream. So if you get a chance come on out and get some Icedream with sprinkles. You'll love it!
