Inflatable Mascot Draws a Crowd at Events Across the Country

The Butcher Boys Inflatable Mascot Draws a Crowd at Fairs and Parades

For a food vendor, there are two ways to stand out on a crowded midway: Sell the best sandwiches, or have an eye-catching mascot. F & W Concessions' Butcher Boys does both, and it shows in their success.

With events planned across the country, owner Dennis Fraleigh wanted to add an inflatable mascot that could be pulled via a trailer to his setup.

A lightweight, portable balloon built for travel was easy for Landmark Creations to deliver.

Standing more than 10 feet tall, the towering Butcher Boys invite visitors to enjoy F & W Concessions' signature dish, a London broil steak sandwich, or any of the other mouthwatering feasts they offer.

Clearly the strategy worked. The Butcher Boys recently made an appearance at the Minnesota State Fair — one of the largest in the country — where they were a huge hit with customers and staff alike.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked. We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

"We had a very positive experience working with Landmark Creations and were very impressed with their service and how quickly we were able to receive our inflatable. The product is high quality and super easy to use, which makes a huge difference when setting up."

- Missy Keiper, Avera McKennan Foundation

"Simply put, the bobbleheads were a real hit at TwinsFest. Over 21,000 fans attended the two-day event raising more than $100,000 for the Twins Community Fund charities."

- Heidi Sammon, Minnesota Twins

"Our tunnel was also a great addition to our pre-game tradition: the Wildcat walk. Our city shuts down three blocks of downtown, and we have hundreds of fans lining the streets with a police escort, while we walk to the stadium."

- Sam Baker, Head Football Coach at Waconia High School

"This year’s event was the highest attended in some time, and the [inflatable] astronaut, front and center on our Portico, was a great visible draw from all over the area."

- Dennis Bateman, Carnegie Science Center

"Just wanted to say how much we LOVE our inflatables. We tested them in our lobby where they were, of course, an instant hit for school group photos. Our leadership was quite pleased with the durability and the realism."
