A little about Campfire Coffee: Corey Cantrell the owner of Campfire Coffee and an entrepreneur at heart, believed that one day he could touch the lives of many through genuine conversations, and a good cup of coffee. His aspirations began around a campfire, where he would speak freely of his dreams, passions, and ideas with loved ones and friends. After leaving the United States Army, he wanted to continue giving back to his community. He came across Veterans Coffee Roaster’s in Colorado Springs and loved the idea that they donate a dollar for every pound of coffee purchased to Vets for Vets, which is a non-profit organization that helps homeless veterans get back on their feet. Corey has big plans for the future growth of Campfire Coffee and hopes to be able to open a store front in Colorado Springs where people can come together and enjoy an awesome cup of coffee.
Kona Ice will be on site from 3:30-6:15pm
