My goodness, the last post was almost two months ago. I am terrible at this blogging thing. Well the Festival was wonderful, pictures posted on our website at www.lentilfest.com.
Despite being a down year for the economy sponsorship was still up. We added a third day to the Festival with a new golf tournament and expanded the beer garden. We used all new bands this year that received rave reviews and the Kid's Area renovation was very popular. Attendance was just as high as last year despite the very warm temperatures and the parade lasted well over an hour with nearly 100 entries. The Festival went green with more biodegradable containers and a new park & ride system as well as "green" merchandise and additional recycling options. All in all, a fantastic time.
Plans are already under way for next year and several new ideas have been added to the list. Send us your thoughts, we are open to anything.
Want to know what is going on with Pullman when we aren't lentiling? Every month I will post a new list of my 10 things to do in Pullman for under $10. Check back soon for the October list!

Full steam ahead!
Pullman's 4th of July celebration went incredibly well. Not as many were in attendance this year, but we are blaming that on the scorching heat. It was a gorgeous day on the Palouse. The fireworks were fantastic! Thank you to all of you that came out to support the event! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Now that the fireworks have been lit, its time for the Chamber to get going...full steam ahead! The Lentil Festival is just 43 days away! The cook off applications have all been turned in and are ready to be prescreened so we can find our top 50! This year, we had some technical difficulties with our new online forms, so we ended up with 93 qualifying recipies this year, which was a bit shy of the 125 submitted last year. Those 93 recipes came from 30 different states, which is absolutely fantastic! We are still hoping to reach our goal of getting a recipe from each state in the future.
All of the recipes submitted will be prescreened by a few select judges. These judges will narrow our recipes down to the top 50. Those 50 will be the recipes entered in the Lengendary Lentil Cook Off!! We are all very anxious to see who makes the cut!
Vendor, contest and parade applications are still available online if anyone is interested. We are hopeful that this year's Lentil Festival will be bigger and better than ever!!

4th of July week
This week, the Chamber is gearing up for our big 4th of July celebration! We are hoping to get tons of last minute donations in our donation jars around town to help with fireworks, and if anyone is interested in volunteering at the park, call the Chamber! (334-3565). We still have plenty of volunteer spots to fill.
The celebration will start at 5pm on the 4th with a BBQ and inflatable toys. Music will begin at 5:30 with the Pullman Community Band. They will be followed by Dan Maher at 6:30, and the Kingpins at 7:30. Once dusk hits, fireworks will light up the sky! There will be no personal fireworks allowed at the park. There will also be no animals or alcohol allowed.
If you would like to join in our fun, come to Sunnyside park on July 4th at 5pm for a fantastic evening! Park and ride lots will be available throughout Pullman and there will be plenty of signs up to show you where to go. For more information on this awesome celebration, call, email, or visit the Chamber! You can also listen to Hit Radio 104.3 for our 4th of July information spot! Hope to see you there!

Beany Greeny
This year, the National Lentil Festival is in the process of going green! Our new Lentil Festival water bottles are BPA-free stainless steel bottles that will be available for purchase at the Chamber or at the festival. For those that purchase a water bottle, a cool water refilling station will be available. This will help cut down on plastic water bottle usage.
To save paper, all applications for the event will be available online. Additionally, all communication between vendors and contestants will be done via email.
Avista's mascot, Wattson the Energy Dog, will treat the kids to some 'green' entertainment in the kid's area. He will be teaching kids about the importance of conserving power and alternative energy sources.
Outside the festival, we will be attempting to reduce carbon emissions by putting up more bike racks for those that would like to ride instead of drive. We will also have park and rides around town with buses running to and from the festival in attempts to cut down on traffic, pollution, and any parking problems.
Recycling bins will be placed around the festival near garbage cans and biodegradable bowls and spoons will be used for the cook off.
We are officially stepping into our big girl pants, trying to save our environment..one chili bowl at a time. We would appreciate your help and support in our green attempts.

The New Lentil Lady
Hello there! My name is Allyson Rohde and I am the new intern at the Pullman Chamber of Commerce. Things have gone extremely well for my first few weeks at the Chamber, and I am so excited to be working with such an amazing group of ladies!
At the moment, the chamber office is working on putting together another great 4th of July celebration. We have set donations jars around town to help raise money for fireworks, and we will soon be calling around for volunteers. It will be a fantastic 4th of July this year, I can feel it!
The Lentil Festival plans are also coming along. Our 2009 poster has been very popular so far. I can't wait to see everything come together for the big event. And, if you hadn't heard, the festival will be 3 days long this year! We have a golf tournament that will take place on Monday, August 23rd at the new Palouse Ridge golf course. There is also talk of a rugby tournament joining on! I will keep you updated on that.
On Wednesday, June 10, Pullman's very own Farmer's Market will grace the streets of Pullman once again. This will be our 4th farmer's market (I believe). Each week keeps getting better and better with more vendors, more people, and live music. The energy has been high, and we would love to keep it that way! Come check it out every Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. in the Old Post Office parking lot!
If you can STAND any more excitement, Mary Barstow is now Mary MacDonald! Congratulations to Mary and her new hubby!

Lentil of the Month Club!
If anyone is fortunate enough to know what a lentil is, the most likely know one variety. "Lentils are those brown flat pea-things" is a common reply to the question "What is a lentil?" In reality, there are several varieties of lentils, each with different cooking characteristics, tastes, colors, and growth patterns but all very good for the soil and good for you!
In an effort to educate people about the many types of lentils, we have started a Lentil of the Month Club. Each month club members will receive a new variety of lentils or lentil products that are grown right here on the Palouse. In addition to a new type of lentils, you will receive an exclusive recipe to try and additional fun facts about lentils and the Palouse. See our website for how you can become our next member!

Well Under Way
The National Lentil Festival is 123 short days away. This quickly diminishing number fills me with both fear and excitement. It also means that here at the Lentil Festival office we are deep in preparation mode. Our Lentil Festival Committee has been hard at work planning new, exciting things to do for this year's festival. One of the biggest changes will be a new "I Hate Lentils" Category in the 16th annual National Lentil Festival Legendary Lentil Cook-off.
Every year people from across the country (37 states in 2008) submit their favorite lentil recipes for this cook-off. While we have received many delicious recipes including lentil-stuffed mushrooms, colorful lentil salads, and lentil spice cake and brownies, some people still refuse to try these award-winning recipes for the simple fact that they contain lentils. This new category will offer a special prize to the chef who creates the recipe that has the best aroma, texture, appearance, and taste but has cleverly hidden lentils. Good luck to all our chefs! All recipes are due June 3, more details on our website.

Sponsor Support UP Even During Hard Times
I have been reading reports from Festivals and Events all over the State of Washington and the Pacific Northwest about how terrible the economy is and how difficult it is to find sponsor money. SeaFair, a major summer festival in Seattle, is down 15% and similar reports are coming in from across the country.
This is just not the case in Pullman. Maybe it is because Pullman took the economy hit later than most and maybe it is because we are a smaller Festival that doesn't require as much funding but I genuinely believe that it is because Pullman cares about this Festival and will do whatever they can to make sure that their business helps contribute to the biggest party in town. No matter how you slice it, the National Lentil Festival has INCREASED cash sponsorship by 10%, not including added support from the City of Pullman, and In-Kind sponsorship has INCREASED 40%! A tremendous jump in any economy.
Thank you to all our generous sponsors of the 2009 Festival. We promise to have a good show for you.
National Corporate Sponsors: Avista Utilities, Beasley Realty, City of Pullman, Coca-Cola Company, Dissmore's IGA, Inland Cellular, Inland Northwest Broadcasting, James Toyota, Old Post Office Wine Cellar & Gallery, Palouse Ridge Golf Club, Time Warner Cable, USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council, Washington State University, and Whitman Senior Living.
Tase T. Lentil Club Sponsors: Bank of America, Border 104/KQQQ, Daily Grind Espresso, Northwest Public Radio, Pullman Disposal Service, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, and Sun Rental Center.
