Cow Appreciation Day

A month of Fridays ago, the Chick-Fil-A located in the Union, decided to do a "Cow Appreciation Day."  An email blast went out saying that customers could dress like a cow and receive a free meal or customers could choose to wear one cow item and receive a free chicken sandwich.  Well, who could resist?? =)

I painted a t-shirt, created a cardboard sign, used a food service glove for an udder and made ears for my costume.  The best thing - this cost me absolutely no money!  I had all the items, sans the headband, which I borrowed from my office mate.  Plus, working in Human Nutrition has its advantages.  The "udder" was courtesy of the department.  I simply added a bit of pink permanent marker for a little color.

I thought maybe I would get a free sandwich -- but I actually got the whole meal, for free.  I did see a few other folks dressed up, but mine was the only homemade version.  I believe that I was the only non-student type person who participated, but I decided that the Union was looking for some customers on that hot, July, Friday so I obliged!!
