Trail Youth hosted their first brew off event. The Boots vs. Badges event was held on March 12 and March 19. The day with the most sales won a trophy and a pizza from the losing team.
During the two separate days, police officers and firefighters traded in their job duties to be a barista for a few hours.
“It’s a great flashback to my past of being a barista,” Eastside Fire and Rescue firefighter Danika Lawson said on March 19.
The firefighters served their specialty drinks, the “Firecracker” and the “4-Alarm.” “I think its kind of awesome,” Lawson said about the brew off event. “I came from a barista background. It’s a great profession but it can lead to other things. For [the youth], starting here, they can go wherever they want if they put their mind to it.”
