Get Out: Five Ideas For Your Weekend
Dust off your best black-and-white outfit and no, we don't mean a tux.
This weekend is remarkably diverse. You can dress up like a cow, see some great concerts, tumble for free and see a classic film. Don't worry, it's not all in the same day. Although picturing a tumbling cow is pretty entertaining...
Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.

Why Go: July 8 is "Cow Appreciation Day" at Chick-fil-A. Come dressed like a cow from "head to hoof" and get a free meal. Even if you come partially dressed like a cow, you get a free entree. So, to summarize: full cow costume gets you a free meal, partial cow costume gets you a free entree. Dressing up like a cow in public: priceless (duh).
