Percolating for ONSC
2011 marked the first year we held this artisan coffee and handmade chocolate tasting at Compton Gardens in Bentonville. The location was particularly fitting given Dr. Neil Compton’s early support for the Ozark Natural Science Center. Stay tuned to participate in the future, and check out photos from this year’s event. We are particularly appreciative of Mark Bray of Airship Coffee, Nick Jones of the NorthWest Arkansas Community College Culinary & Hospitality Arts program and the fantastic Hobknobbers who graced us with their music throughout the evening. Join us next year!
