Coffee Donations:  If you would like to have your coffee present at the festival, we need coffee donations.  Donate your roasted coffee, in your bags with your company logo, and gain free exposure at all the above events.  Coffee donations is one of the cheapest marketing opportunities around and also helps support the Kona Coffee Council.  Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated.  Contact any of the event organizers or Donna Woolley at 322-6575 or president@kona-coffee-council.com.
