For the sixth year in a row, new pins have been introduced for the upcoming America’s Freedom Festival, Provo’s premier summer-long series of fun events.
The pin, which features hot air balloons soaring over Utah, comes in three colors; black, for police and public service members, blue for leadership roles, and red for anyone else interested in looking snazzy for the festival.
Bill Freeze, the festival pin chairman of the event, said in a prepared statement, “The 2017 pin appropriately features the theme of ‘Freedom Elevates Us All’ and displays three stunning balloons honoring America.”
Paul Warner, another organizer who has spearheaded the Freedom Festival for years, said in a press release, “It is (also) a great way for individuals to help support the Freedom Festival by their contribution and by wearing their Freedom prior to our Fourth of July celebration.”
Pins cost $5. They are available at the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Utah Valley Convention Center, the Utah Valley Association of Realtors in Orem and at the Freedom Festival office, 4626 N. 300 West, Suite 300, Provo.
