Midwest Airlines Activity Stage to Feature Travel Events and Family
Entertainment
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stop by the new Midwest
Airlines Activity Stage at this year's Wisconsin State Fair and you'll see
everything from performing canines to wrist wrestling and fiddling
competitions to a cookie bake-off. And if you join in or sign up for the
airline's sponsored contests and giveaways, you could win a case of chocolate
chip cookies, roundtrip tickets, frequent flyer miles or the grand prize, a
two-day Midwest Airlines Vacations package to Orlando for two. Midwest
Airlines earned its reputation as "The best care in the air" by providing
passengers with impeccable service and onboard amenities, which include its
hallmark baked-onboard chocolate chip cookies on most flights.
The Midwest Airlines Activity Stage is located in the Exposition Center
and will offer both travel events and family entertainment throughout the
Fair, which runs August 4-14. A typical day may feature an appearance by 2005
Fairest of the Fairs Susan Orth, a live broadcast by News/Talk 1130 Steve "The
Homer" True, an annual Fair contest such as the popular Bench Press/Deadlift
competition or a performance by Trinity Irish Dancers. Midwest Airlines'
events will highlight the airline's onboard amenities and travel programs.
"We are delighted to be part of this year's Wisconsin State Fair as a Blue
Ribbon sponsor," said Scott R. Dickson, Midwest Airlines senior vice president
and chief marketing officer. "We are pleased to provide an additional
