Buying Local and Finding Frank in Athens, Ga.

Let's be Frank. Have you found Frank yet?

If not, you need to keep your eyes peeled for the strange looking little guy whose life--and head, for that matter--is an open book. Frank the Fabulous Fiction Fan can be found, somewhere, at 51 different local businesses in Athens that are pariticipating in a campaign to buy local this holiday season.

Finding Frank earns a ticket for the finder. Finding 20 Franks, and, thus, receiving 20 tickets means you'll be entered in a raffle with great prizes from participating local businesses. Anyone finding all 51 Franks gets a special prize from Avid Bookshop.

You have until January 13, 2013, to find those Franks!
