About Pullman's Washington State University

Today has got to be THE CLASSIC FALL DAY day in Pullman Washington. The sky is blue and the temperature today was close to 60 degrees. There was just a light breeze providing just a bit of movement to the leaves still left on the trees. It was gorgeous!

I found myself for a few wonderful hours in the heart of WSU. Pullman is host to Washington State University. I watched students and professors heading to and from their classes with book bags and satchels in tow. Everyone really seemed to be enjoying this beautiful day.

Washington State University provides great opportunities and things to do in Pullman. Thanks to the university there is always something going on!

I am looking forward to next weekend when WSU will host their 2009 Dad's Weekend. It is a blast! All those Cougs have Dad come in for a weekend packed with events from beginning to end. Of course our town explodes when Dad's pour into town to see their Coug sons and daughters for a great weekend! And fun is had by all!

It all starts off on November 14, 2009 at 9:00AM with a welcome for Dad's at the WSU Visitor center where there will be treats and coffee from the Dining Services. Also, you have the opportunity to sample our famous Cougar Cheese of the week! YUMMY!!!!

Feel like taking in an exhibit! This should be fun...there will be "Cougs in the Conner Museum" with "Prowl Our Big Cats" on the 14th from 9:00Am to 12:00 PM

And what would a Dad's weekend be without football?!!! Saturday (time to be determined) we will host UCLA. Football and Dads....a match made in heaven!

And of course, Jeff Dunham will do one of his stand up routines that will have everyone rolling the isles with this collection of 3 foot puppets!!! I sure Beasley Performing Arts Colesium will explode with laughter from 8:30 to 10:00.

PS...If you are Dad that sports our rival purple and gold colors...I would suggest you leave your Husky gear at home!!! Go COUGS!!!!

The official beginning of Fall may still be weeks away, but for Pullman Washington Fall is here! Living in a community that is centered around Washington State University makes Pullman special! Our town literally explodes this time of year as the students return and our town nearly doubles. Classes both on the WSU campus and our local area Pullman schools have begun!

But what really marks the beginning of the Fall for Pullman has got to be football! Our first game is tomorrow, (September 5, 2009) against the Standford Cardinals at 3 PM... and you can definitely feel the excitement in the air! Our fans are die hard Cougars through and through! One of my favorite bumper stickers says it all..."Cougars bleed Crimson."

Our die hard fans will pour into town from all over the state, many in RVs that become stage central for tailgate parties...and there will be tons of those! And the weather looks like it will be awesome both today and for the big game tomorrow! I tell you what....you gotta love living in Pullman Washington!!! GO COUGS!

"Your Pullman Real Estate Connection"

Saturday marked the 2009 Graduation Commencement for Washington State University. Congratulations to all those who graduated!

The city of Pullman was packed full of proud Cougars in their caps and gowns, many of which posed in the City of Pullman Square to have their photo snapped. It was a beautiful day and the beginning of new horizons for many WSU graduates.

I would like to wish a special congrats Addy Hink and Tanya Guseva! These two lovely ladies have been receptionists at Richard's Hair Studio, my husband's hair salon for several years now. We will miss you so much! All of us wish you every wonderful thing in life!!!

Washington State University Mom's Weekend ~ April 4, 2009

By Lori Cofer, Realtor ~ "Your Pullman Real Estate Connection"

As a Realtor serving the Pullman Washington area, I am often asked by relocating clients about our community. Pullman is host to Washington State University, and we enjoy many events because our town hosts WSU. One of my favorites is coming up April 4th when Washington State University hosts its Annual Mom's Weekend. Mom's will pour into our community for a weekend absolutely packed with events!

This year's performance Huey Lewis and the News . They will be performing live during Mom's Weekend on April 4 at 8:00 PM at the Beasley Coliseum.

There will be special treats at Ferdinands too!Ferdinands is our local WSU Creamery famous for our Cougar Cheese and gourmet ice cream! Word is out that there will be lots of treats especially prepared for Mom's including Lemon Chiffon ice cream...mmm...or maybe you would prefer a brownie sundae?!

Induge guilt free because you can head over to take in one of the free fitness and dance classes at the Student Recreational Center. So no worries...

Or maybe some mini-golf with Mom might be more to your liking. You can golf from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM at the Airway Hills Golf Range and Putting Course on the Airport Road. Tickets are $15 per pair.

One of my personal favorites has got to be the Macy's Shoe Sale at the Palouse Mall which is 15 minutes away in nearby Moscow Idaho. Who can resist their rows and rows of shoes at a great price? I know I can't! Head over early for a great selection.

There is also a wonderful Spring Arts and Crafts show at the Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum with loads of crafts, jewelry, arts and handmade soaps many of which are from local vendors. It is loaded with tons and tons of gift ideas!

And what a great way to wind down than to enjoy the 25th Annual Winefest from 8:00PM to 10:00PM at the Schweitzer Event Center. There you can sample fine Pacific Northwest Wines and sample some of the School of Hospitality Business Management Catering specialties. There will also be live music and a silent auction. Tickets are $35.00 to attend (must be 21 or older) and transportation from the Old Bookie to the event will be provided.

These are just a few of the events that show WE COUGARS KNOW HOW TO TREAT OUR COUG MOM'S RIGHT!!! For more information, check out the Mom's Weekend Event website at http://www.events.wsu.edu/moms-weekend
