Building the Slush Magic one hook at a time 🪝

What’s better than experiencing the magic of Slush?
Building it together, of course 🏗️
At Talkoot, we roll up our sleeves and join forces to create the one and only Slush experience from the ground up—literally.
A few days ago, Slush Team got to:
🛠️ Paint decorative wood with a secret recipe of used coffee ground water
🛠️ Staple together upcycled fabrics to make carpets
🛠️ Wash plexiglass until it was sparkling for the ultimate Slush display
🛠️ Count endless S-hooks
🛠️ Count green vests (pretty sure they're for security, but who's keeping track when you're vibing?)
For all the Team Leads and Group Leads that couldn’t make it to this one–no worries, the fun continues. Our next Talkoot is in less than two weeks 😉
