RIVERFEST 2008 POSTER & BUTTON UNVEILED!
On February 7, 2008, a crowd gathered at the Go Away Garage to see the unveiling of the Riverfest 2008 artwork.
After a well-received 2007 artwork and advertising campaign developed by Associated Advertising, WFI asked the firm to again develop the artwork for the 2008 Festival.
“It's again a thrill and a great honor to work with Wichita Festivals to develop the marketing campaign and imagery that symbolizes one of Kansas' best and most recognized events,” said Mike Snyder, CEO of Associated. “Wichita Festivals traditionally does a great job in communicating the vibrancy and fun-for-everyone nature of Riverfest, and our team had a lot of fun taking the theme and artwork to new, non-traditional levels.”
“This is a new look for the Windwagon, very hip and new,” said Janet Wright, President/CEO of Wichita Festivals, Inc. “Associated captured the true spirit of this years' Festival with the design.”
This years' poster features Admiral Windwagon Smith riding across the Kansas prairie in his revved-up Windwagon, complete with a supercharged blower in the front. This year's theme is “Party in Overdrive” and Festival attendees can expect to see several new events that will showcase that theme. QuikTrip Corporation is once again sponsor of the poster art.
Signed and numbered limited edition posters are available for purchase for $25 and regular edition posters are available for $5 at Wichita Festivals, Inc. and at the Festival..
