Dress like a cow, get a free meal this Friday
Some Chick-fil-A restaurants in the Dayton area will celebrate Cow Appreciation Day on Friday, July 10: on that day, all customers fully dressed as a cow will receive a free Chick-fil-A meal, according to the fast-food chain’s “Cow Appreciation” web site and an email from a Chick-fil-A spokeswoman.
Some restaurants will also host a Family Night on July 7 to help young customers create their Cow Appreciation Day costumes.
Here’s an excerpt from a press release sent out by the Atlanta-based chain (note to the Chick-fil-A folks: It’s Beavercreek, not Beaver Creek):
COW-CLAD CUSTOMERS GET FREE CHICK-FIL-A MEALS ON COW APPRECIATION DAY - JULY 10 - AT DAYTON CHICK-FIL-A RESTAURANTS
Benchwood restaurant will host Kid’s Night on July 7 to prepare customers for the event
DAYTON, Ohio (July 5, 2009) - In the ‘moo’d for a free meal? As part of the chain’s fifth annual Cow Appreciation Day celebration, the Chick-fil-A restaurant located in Washington Township (1482 Miamisburg Centerville Road), at 3339 Benchwood Drive, at Dayton Mall and at Fairfield Commons and Beaver Creek (2360 North Fairfield Road) are offering a free meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to any customer who visits fully dressed as a cow on Friday, July 10.
In celebration of Cow Appreciation Day, the chain’s popular Chick-fil-A “Eat Mor Chikin” Cows are encouraging customers to dress head to hoof as a cow. Customers fully dressed as a cow will be rewarded with a free Chick-fil-A Meal, which includes an entrée of choice, a side item and a beverage. For those who are too timid to wear full cow costumes, the restaurant will award a complimentary entrée to customers partially dressed in cow attire, such as a cow-spotted scarf, purse, hat or other accessory.
The Benchwood, Beaver Creek and Washington Township restaurants will also host special Kid’s Nights to prepare customers for Cow Appreciation Day on July 7 from 5 - 8 p.m. Customers are invited to the stores to decorate signboards to go along with their costumes for the Friday event.
Customers are invited to join the Chick-fil-A “Eat Mor Chikin” Cows at the Dayton Mall for special Cow Appreciation Day events and activities on July 10.
“Cow Appreciation Day gives us a chance to interact first-hand with our most loyal and creative customers,” said Kevin Weaver, franchise Operator of the Benchwood Chick-fil-A restaurant. “If you’re willing to dress up like a cow for a free meal, that says a lot about how much you love Chick-fil-A! While the day is intended to be a fun way to reward our customers with free food, we enjoy seeing the creativity of the Dayton community at this event each year.”

Pretty sure a cow costume will cost you more than a meal at Chick-fil-A. Maybe they need a new marketing manager? DUH!!By bobby
