Air Show Hits the Skies!

If you were anywhere near the Windsor Airport August 21st and 22nd, you surely would have seen or at least heard the mind blowing planes, jets and gliders that graced the skies that weekend.

The Windsor International Air Show welcomed spectators for their annual event. Attendees were treated to some amazing sights and sounds between the military aircrafts on site and open to walk through, our inflatable obstacle course and giant slide for the children to enjoy, and the wide selection of airplanes that performed. A number of tents were setup to house the food area, the VIP section as well as various vendors.

While the rain put a bit of a damper on the show Saturday, Sunday was most definitely a show certain not to disappoint!

Birthdays, Weddings & Charity Events

Not only have we been occupied with the major Festivals going on around town, but we have also been quite busy supplying tents and other rental items to our “backyard” and wedding customers.

While some of our staff was busy setting up for the Leamington Tomato Festival and the Amherstburg Rotary Ribfest on the August 21st weekend, we had other setup crews working their magic for a wedding of 250 at the Heritage Museum in Kingsville. Our 60 x 100 wedding tent was erected complete with flooring, dancefloor, banquet tables and chairs, portable bars, dishware and head table. Our tent withstood the rain to make for an amazing evening. Check out some photos below.

While some crews prepared for the Art by the River and Tecumseh Corn Fest on the August 28th weekend, others setup tents for a Breast Cancer Fundraiser that took place in Amherstburg. Attendees at the fundraiser shaded themselves from the sun under our 20 x 30 frame style tent, while sipping on some delicious frozen drinks courtesy of our slushie machine. Also on hand were our often popular sumo suits.

Included with the wedding photos below are photos of one of the birthday parties we supplied August 28th. Partygoers also enjoyed themselves below on of our 20 x 30 tents.

Festival Season

Tis the season for Festivals! Over the past couple of weekends, we have been very busy with some great events going on around Windsor and Essex County. August 21st weekend brought the Leamington Tomato Festival and the First Annual Amherstburg Rotary Ribfest. With our tents, tables and chairs on site, the Tomato Festival, relocated this year as a result of the recent tornado, seemed just as successful as previous years.

The Amherstburg Rotary made use of our portable washrooms, tables and chairs to aide in making the first event of its type for the town a great one at that. Local residents braved the rain on Saturday night to taste the great selection of ribs on hand. With Friday and Sunday also packed full, the Amherstburg Ribfest went down as even greater than anticipated!

Most recently, Art by the River in Amherstburg, and the Tecumseh Corn Festival kept our staff busy during the August 28th weekend.

The Tecumseh Corn Fest welcomed Theory of a Deadman, Josh Gracin as well as a number of other performers to the stage. Our large 60 x 220 tent served, once again, as the Festival’s beer tent, while other tents like our 40 x 140, 40 x 60 and a number of smaller tents served as homes for local wineries and vendors alike. Check out the photos below of the wine tent.

Art by the River welcomed blue skies and hundreds of attendees ready to scout out the spectacular selection of arts, crafts and tasty treats. As always, Art by the River organizers called on us to supply the vast array of tents and portable washrooms for their annual event.
