I am in the process of setting my 2014 show schedule.   does anyone have any ideas?

I am determined to have over $100,000 in sales this year and have applied to the MN State fair and the Minnesota renaissance.  Keeping my fingers crossed - anyone have any "pull" with either of these organization?

coffee Queen at the Minnesota Renaissance Faire

The "Queen" found her place in life... at the Minnesota Renaissance Faire.  My daughter, son and I had so much fun, met many new friends and sampled over over 30 gallons of coffee last fall.

We do so well, that Coffee Queen is applying for their permanent area.  Hope to see you there next year!

New retail outlets

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted - sigh!

I would like to announce the newest retail stores that are offering Coffee Queen Coffee:

• Framing Images in Cologne MN
• Extra Touch in Fairmont, MN
• Community Memorial Hospital in Ocono Falls, WI
• and Twice as Nice in Cumberland, WI

Stop in and check out their stores!

Remember - We can do anything without coffee except - get out of bed, walk, talk, think...

Want to annouince that Coffee Queen Coffee will be on the shelves of two more stores.  The County Markets in Isanti and Andover are now part of the Queen's family!  I am in negotiations as to when sampling will be held at these two stores.

Remember... coffee is our friend!

County Market - Hudson, WI

I am very pleased to announce that the Hudson, WI County Market has accepted Coffee Queen Coffee.  Look for it in the coffee isle, next to the Keurig coffees.

My first sampling will be this Saturday, 12/15/12 from 10:00 - 6:00.  Stop by to say hi and have a sample or two!

That brings the count up to 10 stores.  To see the complete list of retail stores go to http://www.the-coffee-queen.com/retail-outlets.php.

From the words of Flash Rosenberg... "I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee!!!"

finding the "Queen"

Well the Coffee Fest is over, and the fall show season is coming to an end.

My last show of the season will be on Saturday, December 1st at the Maple Grove Elementary School in Maple Grove, MN.  This is such a strange time for me, on the one hand, I can't WAIT until all my shows are done - it is so much work.  But on the other hand, I will miss seeing all of you at the shows and samplings.

For me, winter is a time for reflection on the past year and for working on new products and processes (as well as putting 2,000 miles on the snowmobile with my hubby of 31 years).  I hope to have a new sugar free coffee line by spring!

Remember...  You can live without coffee - but why???

For now until the end of december, I have a contest for a gift certfiicate.  Please see my website for details.

COFFEE FEST COMING SOON!!!

I can't wait for Coffee Fest next Saturday.  If you like all things coffee, come and participate in this fundraiser event.  for $10 you get a memorial mug and all the coffee you can drink and wonder food samples made from coffee.  Last year we sampled over 16 gallons of coffee 1 oz at a time - WOW.

I will be posting pictures next weekend!  Hope some of you can make it - lots of fun!

My new saying - that has nothing to do with coffee...

three wise men - really...
