SUMMARY:SPT K3-5th Grade: Happy Cow Creamery Tour
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, March 31st\, Spartanburg K3-5th Graders will go to Happy Cow Creamery to see the cows and the farm via trolley. The milk bottling portion of this educational field trip is sure to delight the children. We will enjoy ice cream together\, also. \nThe tour will start promptly at 11 am and lasts about an hour. Please plan to arrive at 10:45. This is an outdoor tour so dress accordingly and wear CLOSED TOE shoes\, as this is mandatory. Use the restroom ahead of time and bring water\, if you would like. Happy Cow suggests children take the tour on a full stomach\, as the farm “smells” are easier to handle that way. \nThe cost is $8 per person\, including adults and children 3 years of age and older. Older siblings are welcome and require a ticket. Younger children can come and are free\, they do not need to a ticket. \nPlease RSVP below for Adults\, and paid children ages 3+\, Younger children can come but do not have to pay. Only paying guests will get a free vanilla or chocolate ice cream. There should be a place to eat a picnic lunch after the tour if you are interested.
