How to Get Free Chick-fil-A on Tuesday

By Tim Darnell (Patch Staff)

If you dress up as as a cow, to take part in one of its most popular and iconic promotions, Chick-fil-A will reward you for having fun in its annual Cow Appreciation Day from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12.

That means customers have a chance for free food at one of the company's more than 2,000 locations nationwide, including those in the Owings Mills area.

Adult customers who dress in any type of cow attire, whether it’s “head-to-hoof” or sporting a cow-spotted accessory, will be rewarded with a free entrée of their choice. Children can receive a free kids meal for dressing in a cow costume.

Here's a list of Chick-fil-A locations in the area:

• Owings Mills Square, 10480 Owings Mills Boulevard, Owings Mills, MD 21117
• 6032 Sykesville Rd, Eldersburg, MD 21784
• Hunt Valley Towne Centre, 6 Hyland Ave, Hunt Valley, MD 21030

Based in Atlanta, Chick-fil-A first introduced the Cow campaign in 1995 as a three-dimensional billboard concept depicting a black-and-white cow sitting atop the back of another cow painting the words “Eat Mor Chikin” on the billboard.

Since the first billboard, the “Eat Mor Chikin” Cows have reached millions on television, radio, the internet and the occasional water tower to become one of the nation's most recognizable advertising icons and a member of New York’s Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame.

The company was recently named America's favorite fast food restaurant in an American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) report.
