I had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest judge at the 2023 Cincinnati Coffee Festival judging the latte art. True, when I walked in the door I had no clue what made a good pour and what didn't, but I do now!
The festival is actually a fund raiser to help the Ohio River watershed, because great coffee (and tea) starts with great water. This was the third year I attended, and it keeps getting better every year. This year, I had a basket of Hollows freebies to auction off! Thank you everyone who bid on it!
There is a bunny here, but I just couldn't see it in time.
The traditional tulip.
The winner of the poster art, whose work was used to promote the festival.
The MC, the judges, and the three winners
I even had a few readers come out to bid on the basket of Hollows freebies! You can see the venue behind us. Trent, Rachel, Jenks and Lee were nowhere to be found, but mmmm, lots of good food, and fun! I came home with way too many sweets.
