Inflatable Christmas light mascots, Kilo Watt & Katie Watt, were created as mascots for the La Crosse's 27th annual Rotary Lights holiday celebration. The inflatable mascots were introduced and named at the 2021 event, and were a huge hit with crowds, and the local news media.
"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."
“We wanted to convey our 'money-saving' message; what better way than a 14-foot-tall inflatable booth with money flying around in it?”
- B. Hoffman, Hydra-Flex
"Our giant peach is brand new to us and will help us gain name recognition in our community at health fairs, county fairs, farm markets, school events and almost any event we take it to."
“The inflatable finish arch looked fantastic! Local media was also there filming, so photos and videos of our race were viewed by many with our logo front and center.”
