Chick-fil-A’s annual Cow Appreciation Day celebration offers a free meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to any customer who visits one of its restaurants fully dressed as a cow on Tuesday, July 14.
Customers dressed “head to hoof” in cow attire will receive a free Chick-fil-A Meal, which includes an entrée, side item and Dr Pepper or other beverage choice. Customers who are too “chicken” to go all-out in cow attire will receive a free entrée of choice for wearing any cow-spotted accessory, such as a hat, scarf, tie or purse.
