My Dad frequently said
“Doesn’t matter how good your airshow is…if
people don’t know about it.” He was talking about
marketing and promotion, and ICAS handed out awards Tuesday for
airshow promotional materials and ads that did the best job in
drawing in people and sponsors and the dollars from both.
There were more than 500 entries, the largest batch ever, and
they were divided into 27 categories. We’ll present the
winners here, and only wish we could print all the jokes Ric
Peterson was using between the awards. He had some zingers.
