Did you know that when a new Chick Fil A opens, the first 100 customers get free food for a year (52 vouchers for free combo meals)??? Adam and I have been wanting to do The First 100 for awhile- we LOVE Chick Fil A, love free stuff, don't have room in the budget for fast food (though I'd argue Chick Fil A goes in a different category than 'fast food'... semantics- haha!) and are totally up for a night of camping out in a parking lot to achieve such a thing.
So, at 8:00 yesterday morning, we arrived at Denver's latest and greatest Chick Fil A, unpacked our tent, cards, books, magazines and snacks and settled in for 22 hours of waiting. Since we'd never done this before, we weren't aware of the festivities that accompany said camp out... there were games and free chicken and 4 square and even a dj! Even better, we made all sorts of new friends (camping in a parking lot with 100 strangers will do that). Burke joined us for the first few hours and then spent the rest of the time at Lita and Papa's house right up the road from us.
The best part, though, was this morning when we showed our #12 and #13 wristbands and were handsomely rewarded with a box full of free Chick Fil A vouchers! YAY for delicious free food!
There's a sign up the street from our house that says, "Coming Soon: Chick Fil A." You can bet that in a few months we'll be up for round two of The First 100! Let us know if you want to join us... :)

You guys are so funny! We were at dinner just last night and listening to a lady at the next table talk about the people camping out at the Chick-fil-a, and we wondered who would be crazy enough to do that! I guess we know now. :) Love it!
so fun! how was your sleep? so, can you use your vouchers at any chick-fil-a or just the one you got them from?
you guys are super cool for doing this....so proud to be your friends

I LOVE it! I've heard of this, but never knew anyone who did it. I SO want to do it next time! :) Are they dated - i.e. you have to use them on week 1, week 2, etc.? You guys are awesome! :D
haha! :)
jordi, you can use them everywhere...
shiloh, they don't have week by week dates on them. they do have a 'suggested use by' date, which may be sort of like an expiration??? funny, eh?
