Hi April, I am having some free time coming up, and I have thought about visiting you guys. MikeP told me months ago about Coffee Hound would be roasting its own coffee, and I thought, "It is about time!" In any case, let me know when you guys aren't too busy for me to go check out your new toy...Say hi to Steve-O for me! Delete Comment

hey april...i grew up in Bloomington. Over holidays I always make the coffee hound a must go spot. You and your husband have done some great work with both locations. Do you have anyone competing in the GLRBC this year?
