This week on What's Up Wednesday, Poster related items, and the return of a popular item as What's Up Wednesday starts to close on edition number 200.
Back on July 16, in What's Up Wednesday #182, we introduced this years official poster. And what a hit it is has been. In fact, our Online and Gift shop have sold their allocation of signed posters and only a few unsigned posters remain available via those locations. There is a good supply of signed and unsigned posters and metal prints allocated for sale during the event in our on-field merchandise tents.
However, you can still get a piece of the poster action now by purchasing our new Poster Pin. It's a collector's pin, that is just the poster design. It works great on your pin board, or on your collar as a lapel pin. Make sure you grab yours before they sell out.
We have also created greeting cards with the poster design on the front. Printed on high quality paper, you can frame it or use the blank inside to send a special note to that special person. Comes with a matching envelope. Grab a few so you always have one on hand when you need to send that quick note.
A third way to pickup a poster item is by grabbing a postcard pack. It's a pack of 10 post cards, one of which is the 2025 poster. The poster design is accompanied by 8 colorful balloon picture designs and the 10th card is a retro Greetings From The Albuquerque International Ballon Fiesta 2025 design. You'll want to grab a few packs so you can send them out to your friends, while keeping a set for framing around your house.
That Greetings From the Balloon Fiesta design is also available on a new tee-shirt. This short sleeve tee lets you tell the world you're from or have been to the Balloon Fiesta. Or at least you're sending greetings from there. Send one along with the postcard to that extra special friend.
Finally today, the official souvenir programs are now available. Get a copy to see what balloons and pilots are attending and check out the articles about balloons, our founder Sid Cutter in the days before Balloon Fiesta and check out what it goes on behind the camera of our popular live stream of the event, Balloon Fiesta Live!
Next week, it's all about how to shop in the days leading up and throughout the 2025 Balloon Fiesta. We'll have special days and hours, and we'll even give you a heads up on shopping on the field. Until then, Thanks for your support of Balloon Fiesta and Balloon Fiesta Stuff.
