ATLANTA — As part of the chain's fifth annual Cow Appreciation Day celebration, Chick-fil-A restaurants are offering a free meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to any customer who visits one of the 1,440-plus participating restaurants fully dressed as a cow on July 10.
Customers dressed head to hoof as a cow will be rewarded with a free Chick-fil-A Meal, which includes an entree of choice, a side item and a Dr Pepper or other beverage choice. For those who are too timid to wear full cow costumes, Chick-fil-A will award a complimentary entree to customers partially dressed in cow attire, such as a cow-spotted scarf, purse, hat or other accessory.
Chick-fil-A has launched a Web site which offers cow costume tips as well as downloadable cow spots, masks and other bovine-themed accessories for customers to use to create their costumes. The site also will host two online photo contests: one contest for adults 18 and older and another for children 10 and under.
Both contests will award free Chick-fil-A products for a year to the best cow-dressed customers, and children will also have the opportunity to win a $1,000 U.S. Series EE Savings Bond and a digital camera through the kid's photo contest.
Last year, thousands of cow-clad customers visited Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country, including a herd of more than 2,000 from area summer camps, daycares and preschools in Columbus, Ga. Costumes ranged from simple cow-spotted t-shirts to full cow suits complete with furry ears, cow bells and homemade sandwich boards with personalized renditions of the "Eat Mor Chikin" Cows' quirky messages.
