The inaugural Grounded Festival wrapped up last Saturday with the organisers at Third Ground Coffee House elated with the event.
“I think it went really, really well,” said organiser Skye Bailey.
“It’s the first time pretty much any of us have done anything like this.
“Our whole team was just so proud of how much the community got behind it and how much they really wanted to be involved.”
The event saw over 300 people walk through the gate next to Third Ground Coffee House in Sarina with all funds raised being donated to local SES.
The highlight of the day came with Battle of the Beans, with both individuals and teams being judged to find the region’s best barista.
Competition was extremely even, with Madison Dargusch and Jahmayne Hicks tying for first place followed closely by April Leakena and Rusty Blazkovic.
Primal Coffee Roasters won the team competition over Third Ground Coffee House, but all would agree that coffee and community were the real winners on the day.
