Andrew Loves Chicken!

Last Week Andrew and our friend, Johnny, decided to attend the grand opening of a Chik-Fil-A in Roanoke. The first 100 people to be there get 52 free combo meals. The restaurant opened at 6am on Thursday morning. So, they arrived at 6am on Wednesday morning so they could be one of the first 100. They ended up being numbers 39 and 40. Not too bad.

As you can see, everyone brought tents so they could spend the night. There were a ton of JMU people there and it made me really sad that Chik-Fil-A didn't do this when we were in college. I would have totally done it. But, I didn't think Madeline would have enjoyed the 40 degree weather through the night. And the other people probably wouldn't have liked her crying through the night.

Chik-Fil-A provided lunch, dinner, a chicken nugget snack and ice cream for all the participants. To serve them the food, they lined everyone up by their number and then marched them through the drive through like a herd of cows. It was pretty impressive. Cristen Sink and I came to visit the guys and we got numbers 105 and 106 so that we could get a free dinner as well.

Kathryn won the hearts of many throughout the parking lot.

Here are the guys right before we left for the evening.

The next morning at 6am, the employees rang cow bells and gave them their free combo coupons in a chicken nugget box.

Here is the proud owner of 52 free chicken combos. Well, actually 50, since we had chic-fil-a for lunch yesterday :)

And we found out that everyone in Roanoke watches the news because all of my family saw Andrew on the news even before they knew we were in town.
