Final Chance to Sponsor the Highland Fling!

There's still time! We have offered to help Highland City as they are hoping to get a few final sponsors for the 2019 Highland Fling. Deadline is THIS Friday!

The Highland Fling has increased in participation each year and helps to promote your business to the residents in the area. The Highland Fling is a long standing tradition that is full of great events and activities for the community, and this is a great way to show your appreciation and help support Highland city. As a sponsor, you will get a banner and booth at your event, as well as your logo promoted in all marketing materials. Also, with your sponsorship, you will receive an ad in the Highland Fling magazine. This full-color, glossy magazine will be directly mailed to over 10,000 homes and businesses in Highland, Alpine, and Cedar Hills. The magazine will include a calendar of events, a write-up on every event, and a feature story on the grand marshals.
