Summer Survival Guide
2021
COVID online edition
Welcome to the 35th Annual Summer Survival Guide
From Your Pullman Radio Stations
For 35 years, Pullman Radio has produced the Summer Survival Guide. Over the years
it as become a valuable summertime companion for longtime residents as well as
newcomers and visitors to our area. This year again, with things being uncertain, we
are continuing to provide the Guide to you online only. We have included as much
information as we can, but also know that again this year everything is very fluid. We
hope that many acitvities in our Guide are able to still take place, and that many other
activities will be able to happen. We ask you to visit the websites and social media of
the businesses and events throughout our book for more up to date information. We
hope that you find this Guide valuable in finding things to do, places to go, recipes for
food and fun, along with the area’s most comprehensive calendar of regional events.
We would like to extend a special thanks to Margo Balzarini for compiling much
of the information in the Guide. She spent countless hours researching and redoing
the calendar with all the changes due to COVID-19. Thank you also to our editor
Danielle Kallaher. To everyone who contributed recipes, calendar events, articles, and
things to do ... we truly could not do this without you!
We are able to provide this guide to you for free because of our gracious
advertisers. Could you please do us a favor, and stop by or give them a call to let them
know that you appreciate having this free Summer Survival Guide each year. They
value your feedback, and so do we. If you have any ideas or events you would like to
have included in next year’s Guide, please let us know:

Cream Cheese Corn with Garlic
Johnny Mann who you can find on Hits 104.7 weekdays from 10-3 shared this recipe.
I usually melt the cheese before adding so it mixes in more thoroughly.
You can also use onion & chive flavored cream cheese instead of plain.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups frozen corn • 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons
• 1 garlic clove, minced margarine, cubed
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
DIRECTIONS
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients together in small mixing bowl.
• Pour into a greased 3 cup baking dish
• Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbling around edges.
• Serve hot!

Garden Pea Salad
Johnny Mann, weekday DJ on Hits 104.7. I’ve always been told this is very similar to the
signature salad at Clinkerdagger’s in Spokane! You can easily double or triple or even
quadruple the recipe. This quick and easy salad has been a staple of our summer
gatherings and is always a hit at potluck dinners.
1 (approx. 15 ounce) frozen bag of small early 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
garden peas salt, to taste
1⁄4 cup onion (I use Walla Walla sweets) pepper, to taste
2 eggs, boiled pimiento, chopped (optional)
Directions:
• Boil the eggs and chop • Chop the onion very fine, almost minced •
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl • Season with salt and pepper to taste
• Add pimento if desired.
