Three story ideas..

Dear Editor,

With summer here in front of us, Pullman seems to have gotten a little deserted without the normal buzz of the college students around. However, there are still activities for local and remaining summer session students to do. Every Sunday, in Moscow, Idaho, just 8 miles away there is a local farmers market that takes place right off of Main Street. However, they are now bringing it to Pullman starting on May 20Th and running through October 28Th. The market will be open every Wednesday from 4:30pm-6:30pm in the Old Post Office Wine Gallery parking lot.

I would like to find out why the market was brought to Pullman and what kind of crowd they are interested in attracting.
The market seems like it will help out local farmers and encourage both student and locals to support their local economy.

Possible sources for this piece would be WSU's organic farm, who is the tenant for the market and the Executive Director of the Pullman Chamber of Commerce, who has helped to put together the event.


Dear Editor,

With the end of the normal school session, many students have ventured back to their home towns. The students who are now left are those taking summer courses. Summer session admissions is much lower than the normal school sessions, so how does this effect the local bars and their event nights?

Now that a large majority of the student body is gone, along with most of Greek row, how are The Coug, Stubble fields, Valhalla, and some of the other local bars surviving? During the course of the summer, are they still going to hold weekly wing nights? Bladder Busters? And other themed nights that they normally do during the regular school year.

Possible sources for this story would be managers/owners of the named bars. And students who attend some of the themed nights.

Dear Editor,

The Greymalkin Gallery opened in early April, however, they are planning to have a grand opening on Memorial Day weekend, May 23-25.
The purpose of this piece would be to find out the kind of art that they are looking to showcase, and the artists that they would like to attract. This event is one of many that Pullman is offering during the summer, that people may not know about, and if they had the research done for them, maybe they would be interested in checking it out if they knew details.
This event would be a great opportunity for locals to check out artwork from the Pacific Northwest, if they choose to stay in town for the holiday weekend.
Possible sources for this piece would be the gallery owner and artists that may be showcasing their work in the grand opening weekend.
