FLORENCE, Ky. - Several hundred Tri-State men flocked to area Chick-fil-A restaurants for a night of dinner and conversation with their favorite girls.

Their daughters.

Over 470 dads made reservations in one of the 10 Cincinnati area Chick-fil-A restaurants.

The restaurant says it wants Dads to take a break and hang out with their daughters to have some fun.

The Chick-fil-A in Florence offered live music, limo rides, and pictures with funny hats on Thursday night. And for those dads who may be tongue-tied around their daughters, the restaurant offered an activity sheet to get the conversation started.

Florence resident and father Clark Earick said, "We're loyal customers of Chick-fil-A because Dustin and his team just take such great care of us, and it's fun to do something with my daughter. It's tough to find time that's special with her, and it's nice to have some time with her."

The events have proven to be so popular the restaurants have added mom-son and mom-daughter nights as well.
