Mall of America a Popular Place for FILO Events

One location that has been a great host to events FILO helps manage is the Mall of America. Over the past few years, there have been a variety of successful events held in the Rotunda. The past couple months have been no exception, as two of the events included a Minnesota Lynx season kick-off party and a Nickelodeon promotion of the Kid’s Choice Sports Awards.

On May 21st, 2016, FILO, in conjunction with FOX Sports North and the Minnesota Lynx, put on a great community event. It consisted of a half-court basketball area, an interactive photo opportunity and Pop-A-Shot games for kids. A highlight for many of the people that attended was the “Lynx Training” that people got to experience on-court. It was a little taste of what a WNBA practice is like.

Another area that received a plethora of attention was the interactive photo opportunity, provided by FILO. Kids and adults alike were able to take all kinds of fun pictures. There were large player cut-outs, along with huge emoji’s to hold, and everyone that took a photo was able to take home a personal print. Overall, this was a great event and a blast for all involved.

The Nickelodeon-sponsored Kids’ Choice Sports Awards party took place on June 25th and 26th. It was a large promotional event for the awards show that was coming up in a few weeks. At the Mall of America, there were three inflatable opportunities (football, baseball, and soccer) that kids could practice their skills at. Also available at the event were temporary tattoos and hair painting stations. And while all of those were a huge attraction, the main feature was the drawing at the end of each day. There were a few great prizes, like 4 tickets to a Minnesota Vikings game, but the grand prize was a trip for 4 to the awards show in Los Angeles. It drew a huge crowd at the end of the event and left one lucky kid very surprised and happy.
