Free Chicken Worth Camping Out For Despite Blizard
Chick-fil-A opened a restaurant in Fort Collins, Colo. As a promotion, it promised free chicken sandwiches for a year. That prize would go to the first 100 customers. More than 100 people camped out to get the prize. They remained outside the restaurant even though it was snowing. A blizzard dropped 17 inches. And still people stayed, surviving with propane heaters and hot chocolate provided by the restaurant.

That prize would go to the first 100 customers. And more than 100 people camped out to get that prize. They remained outside the restaurant even though it was snowing. A blizzard dropped 17 inches in Colorado, and still people stayed, surviving on propane heaters and hot chocolate provided by the restaurant.
