At the Corner Cottage in Hillyard, you can find pink porcelain pumps or painted tea pots. And if you bring the purple card you can also find some significant savings.

The card is the Spokane Grapevine Discount Card. The brain child of Monte Tareski, the $25 dollar discount card offers consumers a variety of discounts from local businesses across the region.

But it gets better. Local charities are selling the purple card, through local retailers, with 40 percent of the cost going directly to their programs.

That means for every card sold by Cancer Patient Care they get around $10. Melissa Halverson, the development director for Cancer Patient Care says, "We help with all those different financial areas even getting groceries or keeping the electricity on."

If you're traveling to the "far west" June 17-19th, you can still get a taste of home. You'll be following over two Eastern Washington breweries: Golden Hills from Airway Heights and Northern Lights from the university district. Those appear to be the only representation of Eastern Washington breweries at the Washington Brewers Festival.
