If you’re looking for a great daytrip this weekend, head out to Leavenworth for the annual Kansas Sampler Festival.  Blacksmith Coffee Roastery will join a wonderful, diverse mix of Kansas producers, entrepreneurs and communities who will showcase the very best of what the Sunflower State has to offer.

This year’s event will happen on Saturday and Sunday at the Ray Miller Park in Leavenworth. Click here to see it on a map and get directions. If you’ve never been to a Sampler Festival, the best way to describe it is like the Kansas State Fair, but without the overpriced greasy food, carnival rides, loud obnoxious amusement vendors, and animals. Other than that it’s similar but better because it truly is about celebrating Kansas’ great communities, arts, entertainers, products and people!

What we’ll be doing at the Sampler Festival is giving away samples of Blacksmith Coffee and hopefully making some new acquaintances and enthusiasts of premium Kansas-roasted coffee. Additionally, we’ll have a drawing for a large gift basket of assorted coffees and an Aeropress brewer.

We’ll also be demonstrating the excellent brewing qualities of the Aeropress throughout the weekend.

Leavenworth is a beautiful and historic town on the Missouri River and the ideal place for this years Festival. If you happen to make it out, please come by the Blacksmith Coffee Roastery booth in the Mercantile Tent and enjoy a cup of coffee with us.

Hope to see you there!
