Customers brave weather to get free Chick-fil-A

BATAVIA – A sloppy mix of rain and sleet fell Thursday on Rich Fitzgerald as he took down his tent in front of the newly opened Chick-fil-A restaurant on Randall Road in Batavia.

Fitzgerald was among 100 people who camped in front of the Chick-fil-A for 24 hours to win a one-year supply of free meals. He arrived at Chick-fil-A at 5:15 a.m. Wednesday.

To keep himself warm overnight, Fitzgerald brought a portable heater.
