Community Coffee Tour Returns to Bentonville Public Library with Café 211

KUAF is excited to announce the return of the Community Coffee Tour, to be held at the Bentonville Public Library on February 4th from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. This popular event, now on its fourth tour stop, continues to serve as a platform for engaging with the community and discussing important local stories that need more attention.

The Community Coffee Tour will take place in the Rotary Room of the library, offering a casual atmosphere where attendees can meet KUAF staff, explore underreported stories, and demonstrate KUAF's commitment to the Bentonville community. This event is an excellent opportunity for residents to connect directly with our team, share their perspectives, and discuss what matters most in their area.

In addition to fostering dialogue, the event will feature KUAF's Listening Lab, a mobile podcast unit funded by the Walton Family Foundation. The Listening Lab plays a crucial role in capturing personal stories from individuals themselves, adding a unique and personal touch to the community's narrative. To date, the Listening Lab has collected hundreds of personal stories from locals, and we are eager to continue this vital work.

As a special treat, free drip coffee will be provided by Café 211, conveniently located within the Bentonville Public Library. This adds an extra layer of community flavor to the event, making it a perfect evening to engage in meaningful conversations over a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Event Details:
• Date: February 4th
• Time: 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
• Location: Bentonville Public Library, Rotary Room

We invite all community members to join us for an evening of conversation, coffee, and community engagement. We look forward to connecting with our Bentonville listeners and deepening our understanding of the local community. RSVP on Eventbrite
