It's time to mooooove over for Cow Appreciation Day on the second Tuesday of July! Celebrated since 2005, this holiday was created by Chick-Fil-A in order to acknowledge all the hard work cows do for us, from providing us with food and fuel, to helping promote a sustainable environment. With so much to be thankful for, it's no surprise that this day has become so popular. Put on your best cow costume or rock some cow-themed apparel, and head down to your local Chick-Fil-A to show your appreciation and enjoy some delicious treats!
