Will Skate for Food

Everyone knows I love Chic-fil-a. I literally could eat it everyday. About two weeks ago, my friend and co-worker Travis found a flyer advertising a “First 100 Skate-a-thon” in celebration of their one year anniversary. The first 100 skaters (yes, roller skaters) would win 52 free combos!! Now, I have done a camp out, where you “camp” in the Chic-fil-a parking lot for 52 free combos…but skating all night? Hect yes!

My team was “on duty” the morning that registration opened, but we talked our team leader into coming over to the kid’s house 2 hours early so we could be waiting at Chic-fil-a at 6am to register! It paid off…we were numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5!! Way to go Team Dale. All that separated us from one year of free Chic-fil-a was 8 hours of continuous roller skating around the Chic-fil-a  parking lot overnight! (10pm-6am)

The time came to load up and head over to Chic-fil-a. We stopped by for some caffeine and snacks at the grocery store!

  

We made it to Chic-fil-a!

We had to be there at 8pm to check-in, get our bracelets, eat dinner, and suit up! The actual skating started at 10pm sharp! It was hilarious watching 108 people try to get dressed for the 19 degree weather inside the restaurant! We had some fans come out to cheer us on…the cows and the Comiskey’s! The picture below to the left is right before we headed out of the warmth to get rollin’!

    

Jon Comiskey (Kevin’s awesome son) stayed with us all night, even though he wasn’t registered, or skating! He let us hold on to his jacket and he would tow us! He had a chain of about 12 people at one time. Pure strength!

 

 

 

It got pretty cold out there, but we had a lot of fun doing it! It was really nice to walk through the doors at 6am and receive a sweet t-shirt and 52 free meals, all wrapped up pretty in a nugget box :)

 

I am thankful for the awesome people I work with that like to have fun, stay up all night, and eat Chic-fil-a. I truly feel so blessed to get to work with these people and call them friends! Enjoy the photos below :)

and…Eat Mo’ Chicken
