Thursday, September 27th will be the 2nd anniversary of the opening of our Pizza Doors, and we're throwing a Christmas party (again!) to celebrate, complete with free pizza to anyone who enters our doors. The details are as follows;
Who: GoreMade Pizza in partnership with Franklinton Farms. Learn more about why they are awesome here What: Christmas on Wednesday... on Thursday. A free pizza and fund raising event for Franklinton Farm in the theme of Christmas. When: Thursday, September 27th, 2018 from 5-9pm Where: 936 N 4th Street Cols, OH 43201 Why: For our 2nd anniversary celebration! And why Christmas on Wednesday... on Thursday, you ask? Here's where the story gets a little complicated. Here's our best descriptor. Back when I was just a broke 20something, the eventual super sale of left-over post-easter hams began a tradition. We'd buy a cheap spiral sliced ham and throw it in the freezer. Then, some unsuspecting day in june or july when I had no money and payday wasn't for another week, I'd get the ham out on a monday and invite friends over for "Christmas on Wednesday". I provided the ham, and everyone else brought a side dish. We feasted like kings and forgot how broke we were for one night. Fast forward to last year, our one year anniversary. We were the new kid on the block and wanted to throw an awesome party, only our anniversary was on a wednesday. How do you get a bunch of people to come out and celebrate on a wednesday when most people didn't even know who you were? The answer was simple... FREE PIZZA! And us giving away pizza quickly became a day of giving. We decided to do a fund raiser for a local farm doing community good. Also, Ramona Moon decided to donate our fabulous patio art car that very same week! And with all this giving, it started to feel like christmas. The only logical title for our celebration was CHRISTMAS ON WEDNESDAY! And so a new tradition was born! Read more about that event on a previous blog post. Now here we are, almost one year later, doing it all over again. The conundrum is that it's now on Thursday. Christmas on Thursday just didn't seem right, so we stuck with Christmas on Wednesday, only on Thursday this year. We're giving away free pizza from 5-9pm. Someone from franklinton farms will be there to collect cash and credit card donations. They are a wonderful example of what we as a business hold most dear. The joyful creation and support of an inclusive local food network where it is needed most! From their website; "We are a nonprofit urban farm in Columbus, Ohio that utilizes sustainable agriculture to address our community’s most pressing challenges. We are building a just local food system that improves food security and provides economic opportunity. We are building resilient community that is good for the planet and supports healthy futures for our neighbors. This organization is something worth supporting, y'all! Along with free pizza, we will be selling beer, wine and christmas themed cocktails and should have some other fun out back on the patio, weather permitting. Come celebrate this new and absolutely bizarre tradition with us. A Christmas party like no other, months before it gets old! Merry Christmas... on Wednesday... only on Thursday this time! Christmas is one week away, folks! Love, NickG |
