“Happy 100th Birthday Peggy!” CU Boulder Folsom Stadium and Practice Field
“Give me my theme music!!” – Peggy Coppom
Not a game goes by where you don’t see Peggy or at least hear her name. To date, she has only missed 3 home games since 1966 (with the exception of the “Covid” year when no one was able to attend) That makes 335 games in all!
Peggy and her late sister Betty were born on November 19th, 1924 in Walsenburg, Colorado. They moved to Boulder in 1940 where they attended Boulder High School.
Happy Birthday Peggy!

Canvas Prints

Canvas Wrap PRO is built with a solid, supported face which prevents sagging or warping over time. This feature ensures that your canvas will always look as tight and flat as the day it was made. Easy to clean too! (I’ve had these in my own home for almost 10 years, and have been easily able to even wipe them down with a warm damp rag without effecting the canvas in any way. |
Traditionally Stretched Canvas
 |
Traditionally-Stretched Canvas Wraps are constructed around a full hardwood frame and are hand-stapled with care, so they still have the tightest corners available. Hanging is a snap with pre-installed hardware and hanging kit. |
Wood Floating Frames

The beautiful Floating Frames are sourced and crafted locally (in Longmont, Colorado) from high-quality, North American poplar wood, and are available in three signature colors: Black, brown, and white. |
Brushed Aluminium

Printed directly on Brushed Aluminum, it’s natural luminosity will give your art an additional touch of the dramatic, allowing the metal to show through the white parts of the image. The finished floating mount frame is sure to add a clear sense of depth to your picture. |

An absolute conversation starter! Each incredibly high quality acrylic print features a specially designed mount frame that allows your photography to “float” off of the wall. |
