Dear Potential Sponsor:

The Bourbonnais Township Park District is proud to present to you the opportunity to be a part of a wonderful event that takes place in Kankakee County. The 7th Annual Perry Farm Kite Festival has a new date this year. It will take place on Saturday and Sunday June 16 & 17, 2007 at the Perry Farm Park.

For those of you who do not know, we would like to introduce you to the amazing world of kite flying. Kiting is a worldwide recreational phenomenon that has been picking up momentum. As members of the American Kite fliers Association, boasting some 4,000 kiters worldwide, the Bourbonnais Township Park District has the only AKA Sanctioned kite competition in the county. The Perry Farm Kite Festival has grown from 5,000 spectators, to a fantastic turnout of 12,000 spectators in 2003. Participants could be found flying their own kite in the public flying field, standing in amazement as they watched the large single line kites float in the sky above, sitting around the sport kite field as they watched the AKA competitions, making a miniature kite with the Miniature Kite Master, Charlie Sotich, bouncing in our Bamboo Bounce House, and plus much more. Obviously this event is attracting more spectators each year allowing for great community support and involvement.

The Bourbonnais Township Park District would like to extend to your business the opportunity to be a sponsor of this great event. This event has become a highlight of the county, bringing in thousands of participants and spectators from several states. Various levels of sponsorship opportunities are explained below.

We would like you to take a minute to read through the various opportunities and become a visible supporter for this first class family recreation event. Please do not hesitate to call me at (815) 933-9905 with any questions, concerns, or good news of your donation selection.

Thank you in advance for your support and I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Sarah C. Winkel PPRP
Recreation Supervisor
Perry Farm Kite Festival Director
