Shotwell’s Success
The bar mob was a success! It started out a bit slow and we were hoping for more people overall, but there were many other great events that night including the 350.org after party. Fortunately, quite a few of these people were party hopping and stopped by to support Shotwell’s!
Between 6pm and 9pm the bar earned about 63% of the total average earnings for an entire Saturday night! The owners, Dave and Tom, were so excited about the community support and getting more revenue for the changes that they extended the time period to go until 2am! During the whole night they earned 140% in comparison to an average Saturday night. This money, along with the proceeds from the pub crawl will allow them to make some substantial changes.
We had a TV crew from Germany filming a documentary on groups working on solutions to climate change, keep an eye out for us dubbed in German! Prior to the event we also had the Food Service Technology Center do an energy audit and they are preparing a report that will be utilized to determine the most effective use of the funds.
Thanks so much everyone for all of your support!
