RAFFLE TICKET
HELLO FRIENDS!
Running a small business in a historic building is no small feat. It’s trial and error. It’s listening. It’s pivoting. It’s preserving something old while trying to build something new. Many of you have seen me doing it all — hosting, bartending, cleaning, moving furniture, teaching workshops, waiting tables, painting walls, insulating, installing, failing, succeeding, laughing, and yes, sometimes tearing up. It’s not easy. But I wouldn’t quit for a day.
This season, we are expanding upon last year's partnership with Finocchi, a food project that focuses on the story & magic of food as they queer Italian and Italian-American traditions. They'll grow some of the produce and some in the Inn gardens, and plan to procure the rest from Waldoboro’s Landsmith Farm & Commons just down the road from the Inn.
I believe in lifting up our friends. I believe in alternative education — whether that’s a workshop or introducing drag performances to a small town. I believe small businesses should have a voice. And I believe we can build something meaningful together without relying on corporate fundraising platforms like GoFundMe or Kickstarter that don’t align with our values.
Our goal is to raise $18,000 to:
– Upgrade kitchen equipment to better support our pop-up chefs
– Improve our expo setup
– Cover hard liquor licensing fees
– Strengthen and elevate our bar program
And here’s the FUN part: every donation of $25 or more gets you something — even if you don’t win the raffle.
This isn’t just about equipment: it’s about continuing to create a space where chefs can experiment, artists can gather, performers can take risks, and our small town can experience something new.
If you believe in what we’re building, if you’ve ever felt at home here, or if you simply want to support independent, community-rooted businesses — we’d love for you to participate.
