Visit Augusta trail to drink coffee, win prizes
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – If you love local coffee, the Augusta Coffee Trail is the right place for you.
It’s a mobile passport that takes you on a journey to 11 unique local coffee shops.
By going to each shop, you get entered to win rewards and prizes.
It’s being run by Destination Augusta and is free to play.
It’s meant to show both visitors and locals what our coffee houses have to offer.
“I think both locals and visitors have a difficult time finding something that is unique to the area that they’re in. So, Destination Augusta just loves to highlight those ways that we shine as a place where local businesses can thrive. The thing that we can do to support that is by sending people their way,” said Sarah Childers with Destination Augusta.
For every coffee shop you visit, you get a sticker.
At your fifth stop, you earn an “I love Augusta” mug, which you can redeem at Destination Augusta’s location on Broad Street.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Families had the chance to sharpen their money skills at a financial literacy event hosted by local nonprofit Crown Her Mentoring at the Bernie Ward Community Center.
The free event offered resources for all ages, from kids learning the basics to adults planning for their financial future.
Attendees could sit in sessions about budgeting, credit, opening banking accounts and insurance options.
Organizers said the event was designed to make financial education accessible during Financial Literacy Month.
“People need to understand the importance of a checking account, a savings account—how to manage your money. How to invest your money. People need to learn about life insurance,” said Torrecka Davis, organizer.
Crown Her Mentoring will host a mental health awareness event on May 23. Open enrollment for new mentees will begin on May 10.
