Rather than share pie, stuffing or other Turkey-day recipes this Tasty Tuesday - I wanted to spread the word about a local taste treat and its unquie ask this holiday season.
Dear friends of mine, Kyle, Kristi and their newest addition, Maddy Duce are on the cusp of realizing their dream - opening their very own neighborhood beer and wine pub in Seattle. They plan to call it Locöl.
Everyone has been incredibly excited, asking how they can help this (young!) family-run business get off the ground in these tough times. Well, now there's a way!!
Locol is launching a "Community Puzzle", literally a jigsaw puzzle in which you can purchase a piece. The puzzle will be 3 feet by 4 feet in dimension and will be an image once completed. Each piece purchased will have the name of the person who contributed placed on a plaque next to the puzzle on permanent display.
I think it's the coolest way to truly invest in small business and community!
The pieces start at $25, though you can donate any amount. You can purchase your piece through a PayPal account set up and linked through Locöl's site and Facebook page.
Once the puzzle is complete, the Locöl will take 10% of that money and give it back to the community.
So this Thanksgiving, if you love good food, great local hangouts and brave people who dare to launch their dreams - go Locöl!
