Cow Appreciation Day, Fifth Avenue

Cow Appreciation Day, NYC
Photo by myself on Fifth Avenue and 28th Street.

A tour bus filled with people in cow costumes roared down Fifth Avenue.

Apparently, Friday was Cow Appreciation Day. Those who went to a Chick-fil-A restaurant dressed as a cow received a free meal.

The cows were holding signs saying 'Eat Mor Chikin.' Mark and I were waiting to cross the street, Friday afternoon. He gave me a shout 'Cows on a bus, comin'! Cows on a bus, comin'! Get your camera!!!'

I wonder whether we'll be hearing from the Chicken side soon?

I'm imagining a marketing department somewhere filled with people dressed as bees, all busy trying to get some "buzz".

"sigh" Probably not, chickens are known to be passive aggressive...

Hi Douglas
ha. Not sure I'd enjoy wearing a costume for work. Seems very hot.

Hi Lily
I agree, veggies are the underdogs, if you will. We're too meat-oriented!

Ha Elsiee!

Hi Sciveners...I hope not!

Thanks Debra and welcome :-)

In the end Cow Appreciation Day became the smart brainchild of the Chik-Fil-A agency, developing the tale of the daring cow to encourage human beings to skip their preferred burger joint, and Cheap Custom Printed T Shirts are available to their local Chik-Fil-A as a substitute. Little did humans know that indulging in this bit of fanciful party might introduce them to a essential reality about speedy food.
