**Our first event was so much fun, we're doing it again!**
Think you’ve got the fastest puzzle hands in town? Join us for a fun and friendly 500-piece jigsaw puzzle race in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colchester East Hants! Teams will compete head-to-head to finish the same puzzle within two hours. The first team to complete theirs (or get the furthest by the time limit) wins a prize and ultimate bragging rights! This event is all about good fun, good food, and great company...all for a great cause.
Support Local, Piece by Piece
$1 from every Salty Dog pint and appetizer ordered by participants during the event will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colchester East Hants to help support youth mentorship programs right here in our community.
