The Chamber of the Wood River Valley will present a Wake Up with Hailey networking event at Patrick Buchanan’s State Farm Insurance from 9 to 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 7.

Coffee and breakfast pastries will be served.

Those who attended the last Wake Up at Hailey Coffee in Ketchum learned how the coffee café roasts its beans at a roasting facility near Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey. It also bakes its own goods, selling some of them at other outlets around the valley.

Its superior roasting techniques and well-trained barristas are some of what go into “The Cup of the Valley,” said Owner Santos Serva, who opened the Ketchum café in November 2018.

"We love it. We really like what we can do," he said. "Good coffee. quality coffee. Everyone keeps working hard."
