Crystal, our intrepid Youth Programs Lead, was out in the world again last Saturday at Kids Day at CHaRM DeKalb.

Kids couldn’t get enough of the hands-on fun she brings—but this time there was a surprise collaborator… the Chick-fil-A cow 🐮✨

The cow joined in right alongside the kids (and a few goats too 🐐) to make bookmarks, explore, and take part in a full day of creative, sustainability-focused activities at CHaRM DeKalb.

Check out or our stories for a fun video from the day, and mark your calendars for next year—you won’t want to miss it!
