DAY 1

Cranksgiving

When: Saturday November 13th at 11am.
Where: Venti's Cafe, Downtown Salem Oregon. Map.
Cost: Less than $20.

What is it? Cranksgiving is an Alleycat. Look to wiki for an explanation if you need one. If not, here's a simple recipe for the Cranksgiving pie:

-Show up at Venti's Cafe a little before 11am with your bicycle to receive instructions. You will be getting a list of 10 items to purchase. It doesn't matter where you purchase them, you only need to prove with receipts that you in fact purchased them from 10 different locations. Items will be less than $20 total, how much less depends on how thrifty you shop.

-Lists will be different from one another, so don't be thinking of a team assault. This is an individual event and meant to be fun and non-competitive. That said, prizes will be given to those who are able to collect their items and return the quickest. There will also be stuff randomly awarded.

-All items will go to the Marion-Polk Food Share just in time for Thanksgiving. This after all is the real point of the event.

Show up, ride your bike, buy some stuff and give it away...we all could use a bit more of this sort of dessert.
