Continuing the theme of “sweet treats,” today we are going to feature the answers to our 20 Questions Quiz from John Pringle of The Cottage Coffee House. John has “multiple roles” in the village: providing the best coffee (and other sandwiches and treats) at Cottage Coffee, hosting his local social media show Espresso Shots Live every Wednesday at 7:30pm, and even squeezing in time to run his audio and visual company Westport Video. We’re not sure when he finds time to sleep but we’re so thankful for all that he does while he’s awake.
