| China promotes
WVU Mountaineers spirit WVU President David C. Hardesty
and his wife, Susan, gave their approval this week to an agreement
that will give shoppers the opportunity to own made-in-West Virginia
Mountaineer items.
Sales of WVU-themed Fiesta products will benefit Friends of WVU
Hospitals, the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center at WVU and WVU Scholarship
programs. The items will be available exclusively at the Fiesta
factory outlet stores in Newell and Flatwoods, and the WVU Hospitals
Friends Gift Shop.
WVU is proud to work together with this historic West Virginia
company to support patients and students, Hardesty said.
The items include plates, cups and other Fiesta china with the
"Flying WV" logo and the image of the Mountaineer, the
university's mascot; and carafes, vases and mugs with the Betty
Puskar Breast Care Center logo. The items are now available only
in the WVUH Friends Gift Shop in Morgantown, and on its Web site,
wvuhgift.com.
But the agreement will make the products available in the company's
outlet stores in Newell and Flatwoods.
A visit to the WVUH gift site shows that a Fiesta Mountaineer holiday
ornament -- in white, gold or blue -- costs $9.99. A set of three
is $27.99. A dinner plate costs $23.50, and a 6.5-ounce tumbler
is $9.99. Many more items are available.
