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 Towson.

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 Towson area:

• Towson Town Center, 825 Dulaney Valley Road, Suite 3285, Towson, MD 21204
• Towson University, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252
• 2008 East Joppa Road, Parkville, MD 21234
• Morgan State University, 1700 East Cold Spring Lane, Baltimore, MD 21251
• 10142 York Road, Cockeysville, 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.
