*I've made every effort to locate the author of this quote, and have not been able to. I will happily give credit if and when I am able to determine the author. But for now...just know it wasn't us.*
I'm sure you remember our Hurry Up and Wait post from August 29. All of a sudden, it's more like everything has switched into hyperspeed! Monday is going to be a HUGE day for us! We are signing on our loan and ordering our grinder and stuffer (we've been practicing with our smaller grinder and stuffer attachments on our home chef KitchenAids, and we need to be able to crank out WAY more than these itty bitty's can handle!)
Once we have signed the loan, the check will be cut that day to Tom and Jen, and our truck will be next in line! We should have our doors open by the end of November, or early December!!! Are you freaking out? We are freaking out (a little)! We have lists and lists of things we need to get done before then, but thankfully we have amazing people helping us go step by step to make sure we get all the legal stuff done that we need to. We will be testing massive amounts of sausages, so we will be hitting up family, friends, and probably even random people to taste test them and give us honest feedback.
We still can't do this without help, though! We have had so many people say that they wish they had a way to help, and now you do! We just launched our Kickstarter campaign TODAY! You can donate anywhere from $5- $1000, and there are rewards you will earn by helping us out on every level! You can get a meal on us, an amazing T-shirt with our logo on it, VIP passes to an exclusive Kickstarter party, a breakfast for you and friends delivered to your location of choice (in Jacksonville only), and even a sausage making demo!! One of my favorite rewards, though, is that many of the levels include your name being added to our custom painted menu board! This is an example of one of the boards we have made, and ours will be similar, but the names will be added all around where the red and white checkered pattern is.
There is one caveat to this campaign, though. If we don't meet our goal of raising $5000, we don't get ANY of it! So every little bit helps! We have 30 days to raise $5000! (If we do not hit this number, none of our sponsors cards will be charged, so don't worry about that.) Please go check out our Kickstarter page to see the full list of rewards, and help us REALLY take flight, and stay in the air once we do take off!!! We appreciate everyone's support, and have been so encouraged by all the amazing people surrounding us this far in our process! We cannot wait to show our gratitude by bringing Jacksonville incredible gourmet mini sausages!
