As an avid kite manager within the SWSKC, I also keep my eyes open when
other hobbists and such hold festivals, to get a feel for what they are
doing right and wrong.

Last year after we held a very sucessful Bluebonnet Kite Fest in San
Marcos, TX an event organizer of suchs put together a balloon festival
in the same area we held the kite festival. The event program was one
to die for. There must have been well over $25,000 plus dollars in
advertisments. All in a program handed out to the public for free. Wow!
I couldn't believe someone could do this.

I wanted to get connected with this guy.

They advertised that there would be over 90 balloonists and the event
was sanctioned by the American Balloonists Association (or something
like that). They contracted (sold space) to a small carnival with rides
for the kids. And also sold space to vendors. Over 100 vendors in all.

I was amazed.

The day of the event, there was 1 balloon.

Everyone involved with the event wanted a piece of the event organizer.
If he had been available there would probably have been a linch mob out
to hang him. As it were he took his false ads on the road to Kansas
then left the country.

Point.

It's the responsibility of the event organizer not the sanctioning
body.
