- Description
- On the 10th and 11th of October, 2009, McEntire Joint National Guard Base and the 169th Fighter Wing are hosting the 2009 "Go Guard!" South Carolina Air and Ground Expo. This event marks the first officially sanctioned Airshow and Open House event at McEntire in 10 years. There are 2 days of amazing aerial and ground displays as well as daring aerial performances designed to share the mission of the Air and Army National Guard with the public of South Carolina. Attendance is expected to exceed 100,000 people for this free general-admission event. The 169th Fighter Wing is seeking a local community partner (Partner Organization) to assist in accomplishing administrative and support functions to enhance this event. This partner organization will assist in collecting sponsorships of varying levels from local businesses. Sponsorship money will be used to promote the event through local print, video and radio media, and to provide program guides free of charge to attendees. Additionally, sponsor money will be used to enhance non-flight elements of the event generally occurring behind the show line of the aerobatic box. Money raised in the community to support the event may also be used to provide specific goods and services to McEntire not to exceed $50,000 at the discretion of the base commander. Donations will be provided via the gift to the Air Force process. A minimum of $25,000 in local sponsorships supporting the event is required. Limited recognition of sponsors is permitted on base during the event and is not intended to imply government endorsement of sponsors. The partner organization will also be responsible for sourcing a concessions provider (s) for food and beverage sales (non-alcoholic) at the site of the show on McEntire. The partner must provide these services such that they are compliant with Air Force regulations governing appearance and standardization of vendor booths during airshows. Local volunteer groups must be used to the maximum extent possible for the labor element of vending services. Concessions must be sufficient to provide food and drink for up to 60,000 people per day. Local vendors must be used if possible within the framework of standardization and appearance guidelines. Concessions services may be subcontracted. If subcontracted, money raised by PO through concessions sales must be donated to charity after completion of the event. The 169th Fighter Wing will provide the winning PO with supervised access to McEntire JNGB for assistance in planning and logistics for PO administrative and support functions. POC for 169th Fighter Wing is Major Brent Allen, 803-647-8920 or e-mail: brent.allen.1@ang.af.mil. Contracting POC is TSgt William Simmons, 803-647-8255 or e-mail: william.simmons@ang.af.mil.
