California Pizza Kitchen is offering a new promotion to get customers to try its new menu items.

With the CPK Adventure Card, customers will receive 20 percent off new menu items. These items include four types of pizzas and the Moroccan Chicken Salad.

The card can be used over and over between now and Sept. 15, and can be used for both dine-in and carry out, said spokeswoman Allison Perkins.

The only way to sign up for the card is to visit www.cpk.com/card, Perkins said. After signing up online, the card will be delivered in the mail.

CPK in Bakersfield is at 10150 Stockdale Highway.

In honor of its 82nd anniversary, participating 7-Eleven stores are giving away free Slurpees on Saturday, 7/11 (get it?)

A random phone survey of Bakersfield locations found that most are participating; however some folks manning the phones had no idea what the caller was talking about, so proceed at your own risk.

The corporate-issued cups are 7.11-ounces. The drinks are free while supplies last.

In the ‘moo’d for a free meal? As part of Chick-fil-A’s fifth annual Cow Appreciation Day celebration, the restaurant at 5260 Stockdale Highway is offering a free meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to any customer who visits fully dressed as a cow on Friday. 

Those who go all out will receive an entrée of choice, a side item and a beverage.

For those who are too timid to wear full cow costumes, the restaurant will award a complimentary entrée to customers partially dressed in cow attire, such as a cow-spotted scarf, purse, hat or other accessory.

Chick-fil-A has a Web site dedicated to the occasion, cowappreciationday.com.

Mesa Marin Chevron, 11101 Highway 178, will sell regular unleaded gas for 99 cents from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday to the first 100 customers to roll in.

There will be a 10-gallon limit per car.

The new Groove 99.3 will be there with music and giveaways, and Ralph Bailey, of 1560 KNZR, will broadcast his show live inside Mesa Marin Chevron.
