Balloon Invitational

Ring Grab Sponsor

August 22-24, 2008

Package Description:

As the Ring grab sponsor, your donation will be the prize for one of the weekend’s most exciting events for the pilots and spectators.  All eyes will be on the ring-grab pole that is centered in the scoring area.  Pilots will launch from various places throughout the city and navigate the winds to Corporate Lake to try grabbing the ring off the top of a 20-foot pole.  This provides a unique balance of advertising, promotions and entertainment with the opportunity to be involved in a premiere community event.  You and a guest will also have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly in a balloon during the weekend festivities.   As Ring Grab Sponsor, you will have unlimited access during the weekend to the VIP Sponsor Pavilion for four people of your choosing.  Along with this package you will receive extensive promotions as outlined below, and a basket banner attached to one of the balloons during the entire event.
