Chick-fil-A gives away food for Cow Appreciation Day

Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country are giving away free food today. But in this heat, you've got to work for it.

The company's annual Cow Appreciation Day allows diners to get a free meal if they come into a Chick-fil-A restaurant fully dressed as a cow. Folks who don't go all out can still get an entrée such as a sandwich by donning a cow-spotted scarf, purse, tie, hat or other accessory.

Chick-fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day is in its seventh year. Last year, more than 450,000 customers clad in furry ears, cow bells and other costumes came to Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country. It is not yet clear how many people participated today.
