Dress like a cow and get free chicken at Chick-fil-A.

Mary over at the Cameron Village Chick-fil-A reminded me the other day that Friday is Cow Appreciation Day at all Chick-fil-A restaurants.

This is the day when customers dressed as cows receive free food. If you arrive partially dressed as a cow (like with just a hat or scarf), you get a free entree. If you're dressed as a cow from head to toe, you get a free meal.

Check <a href="http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Cows/Appreciation-Day" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Chick-fil-A's website</strong></a> for all of the official rules and details and a "cow starter kit."
