Chick-fil-A - Daddy-Daughter Date Night

This activity is precious. In honor of Father’s Day, participating Chick-fil-A locations are hosting a Daddy-Daughter Date Night. With each restaurant privately-owned, check your local Chick-fil-A for participation.

One of our local Chick-fil-A restaurants sent e-mail subscribers an invitation to their Daddy-Daughter Date Night.

Our location has planned a special evening for dads and daughters on June 10, 2013. The cost is $10 person which includes an appetizer, dinner, dessert, and entertainment.

With reservations required, our Chick-fil-A has opened online reservations. The Date Night lasts for 45 minutes with the following 4 seating times:

  • 5:00 p.m.
  • 5:45 p.m.
  • 6:30 p.m.
  • 7:15 p.m.

As a special treats for daddys and daughters, check the Daddy-Daughter Date Night registration page listing participating restaurants. If you don’t find your local restaurant listed, then check their website or make a call for event information, reservations, prices, dates, and times.

The Chick-fil-A that sent me the invitation is not listed on the registration page as participating. This is due to our Chick-fil-A’s choice to provide online registration through a page on their own website. I share this information because more locations are participating than are listed on the official page.

With Father’s Day quickly approaching, events like a Daddy-Daughter Date Night will meet capacity quickly. Happy planning!

Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day – August 1, 2012

Support Chick-fil-A on August 1, 2012

I love the Chick-fil-A food chain for so many reasons. Chick-fil-A gave me my first job. I was a cashier for a summer during high school.

Besides finding Chick-fil-A chicken delicious, I also appreciate the work ethic expected and demonstrated from the management down to fellow cashiers.

As a Christian, I never had to compromise my standards while working. Sundays were set aside for worship and family time which continues today at every Chick-fil-A. So, when the CEO of Chick-fil-A speaks about family values, he speaks from conviction and by example.

I am honored to support Chick-fil-A’s stand defining the family unit as a husband and a wife. Though I expected some resistance, I did not expect the uproar over Chick-fil-A’s stance.

As a response to the backlash, Mike Huckabee endorsed a Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day for today, August 1, 2012. For more information, check out Mike Huckabee’s post.

If you also agree with Chick-fil-A, consider stopping by to show your support. I know I will support Chick-fil-A, which is “my pleasure!”

Question: Was the backlash Chick-fil-A received justified? 

Reminder: Today is Chick-fil-A’s Cow Appreciation Day 2012!

Appreciating the CowsChick-fil-A’s Cow Appreciation Day is a great family activity to dress as a bovine and eat free chicken together. Click this link for more details.

2011 Cow Appreciation Day

Last year, I spent about 2-3 hours creating our cow costumes for Cow Appreciation Day. This year, we spent 10 minutes getting ready for Chick-fil-A’s Cow Appreciation Day. The bulk of this time was finding the “safe” place I put the hats. 🙂

In using time wisely last year to invest in preparations for 2011 and beyond, I saved money, energy, and time this year for our special family activity.

Eat More Chikin2012 Cow Appreciation Day

After dressing Eat, Mor, and Chikin, we ventured out together. While enjoying our free lunch, we visited with some of our friends. Our Chick-fil-A was full, but the staff worked hard and provided free games and prizes. My children each received a little rubber basketball and a coupon for a breakfast item.

Are you short on time and need some cow inspiration? How do you make a cow costume? Try this:

1. Get an old white tee-shirt, and cut holes in it.

2. Then wear a black shirt under it.

3. Use a black eye liner to darken your nose.

4. Place black socks on your ears.

5. Wear black or white shoes.

6. Go to your local Chick-fil-A.

7. Eat free chicken.

In using time wisely and investing in the lives of your family, enjoy dressing up in cow attire. With Cow Appreciation Day occurring once a year, you can survive. Think of it as Halloween in July. 😉 Happy Cow Appreciation Day!

Question: How are you appreciating the cows today?

If you are crazy enough to dress from head to toe in cow attire, then Chick-fil-A will give you a free meal on Cow Appreciation Day, Friday, July 13, 2012.

If you are a little chicken, then you can get a free entrée with partial cow attire (e.g., shirt, hat, etc.).

By now you know that our herd will come with our cow attire.

Cow Appreciation Day on July 8, 2011

Since we take part each year, I invested in making t-shirts and saving the cow hats from a kid’s event sponsored by Chick-fil-A for last year’s special day.

The only problem this year is making sure that our shirts still fit. 🙂

Mark your calendar, create your costume, and enjoy a free breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Chick-fil-A next Friday, July 13, 2012. You’ve got one week, so get mooving! 😉

Question: Will you dress up?
