2014 National Lentil Festival

Welcome to the 26th Annual National Lentil Festival!

L

egume lovers from across the nation will converge right here in Pullman, August 22-23 to celebrate what makes the Palouse a great place to live.

This year’s festival is bigger and better than ever – if you haven’t been in a while, it’s time to visit it again!

The National Lentil Festival focuses on the local community, local volunteers, and all that makes up the Palouse. Local honorees are recognized at the Unveiling of the Walk of Fame, local organizations and businesses line down Main St. for the Grand Parade, and local microbrewers, wine and hard cider makers are showcased in the beer and wine garden.

The National Lentil Festival remains a great way for Pullman to come together as a community of families, students, artists, athletes, and business owners. We look forward to making this year a great event for the community and our thousands of visitors that come each year just to celebrate our lovable legume!

Come to the National Lentil Festival August 22-23 and see all the new features the festival has to offer!

ho is Kurt Snyder? Kurt Snyder is a graphic designer, illustrator, and photographer specializing in logo design, web design/development, and digital illustration. He received his Bachelor of Science in Art from Colorado State University, Pueblo in 2005 and promptly opened his own design business, Drawn Wild Design. Kurtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illustration work typically portrays a stylized, detail-intensive perspective of WKH QDWXUDO ZRUOG VSHFLÂżFDOO\ WKH ZHVWHUQ ODQGVFDSH +LV LPDJHV capture the graceful intricacies of life which surrounds rivers, canyons, mountains, and foothills.

Kurt was introduced to the Palouse in the spring of 2005 by his wife, Janine (Prout), who is a native of the area. Since that time, he has enjoyed exploring the area and experiencing it throughout the seasons. The unique perspective for Kurtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Lentil Festival poster design was inspired by a harvest-time visit to Clark Farms near Kamiak Butte (Albion, WA). Kurt & Janine currently live, work, and play in and around the small mountain town of Salida, Colorado. When he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t creating two-dimensional art, Kurt can be found in his workshop crafting custom banjos, mandolins, and ukuleles.
