The 80-foot thecosmiccrisp hot air balloon and its junior remote-controlled sibling will fly over wsupullman  for a morning celebration of healthy eating and activity, Monday, Oct. 21, 2024.

The #CosmicCrisp® Day event coincides with #NationalAppleDay, a celebration of apple history and versatility. It is held in partnership with the women’s tennis team, the wsucougarathletics Performance Nutrition program & wsucahnrs 

“This event celebrates one of the most popular apples in the world, created right here at #WSU,” said Lindsay Brown, associate athletics director for performance nutrition. “We’re excited to showcase our student-athletes and share fan-favorite apples along with recipes and samples that we hope inspire others to fuel their day with good nutrition and healthy activity.”

The day begins with a sunrise apple and coffee gathering with butchtcougar, 6:30-7:30 a.m. at WSU’s Mooberry Track, with a balloon takeoff planned for 7-7:30 a.m.

Events continue at 9 a.m. at Hollingbery Fieldhouse, with a pickleball and tennis expo featuring the women’s tennis team as well as Tyson McGuffin, former ranked tennis player turned professional pickleball star and Cosmic Crisp® ambassador.

The hot air balloon will return to Mooberry Track for a public sampling of apples and healthy recipes with the WSU Athletics Performance Nutrition program as well as a meet-and-greet with McGuffin from 10-11:30 a.m.

Visitors to campus will be able to check out the full-size balloon, which stands 85 feet tall from the bottom of its basket to the top of its speckled red envelope, as well as two other displays. A one-story-tall remote-controlled balloon will hover tethered at Terrell Mall, while a Cosmic Crisp® balloon-shaped inflatable display will help draw visitors to the Cougar Pride statue on Stadium Way. 🍎#CosmicCrisp #GoCougs
