HOSPITALITY BENEFITS Two types of hospitality benefits are available to sponsors. One or the other, or a combination of the two, may be chosen to provide the widest possible range of opportunities to sponsors.
SPONSOR HOSPITALITY PAVILION The Sponsor Hospitality Pavilion overlooks the Johnson Arena and provides an excellent view of activities each day. Dressage is held in the arena Thursday and Friday and the Jumping Test Sunday. Event Sponsors are offered food and complimentary beverages daily during the Three-Day Event. A gourmet lunch is served Thursday, Friday and Saturday and a sumptuous brunch Sunday. A private Sponsor Bar is located in the pavilion along with closed-circuit television. Included in Sponsor Hospitality Pavilion Benefits are:
- Sponsor Parking
Sponsor Parking for the Three-Day Event is located in the interior of the Park close to the Johnson Arena and the Sponsor Hospitality Pavilion.
- Sponsor Badge
Personalized Three-Day Event Sponsor Badges identify sponsors and provide admission to The Event.
- Sponsor/Competitor Cocktail Party
Sponsors and competitors are feted at a Cocktail Party Thursday, April 24, at historic Spindletop Hall across Iron Works Pike from the Horse Park.
- Winners' Celebration
A champagne celebration in the Sponsor Hospitality Pavilion follows immediately at the conclusion of the formal awards ceremonies. This reception is exclusively for ribbon and trophy winners, officials, prize donors and sponsors.
- Official Event Program
Sponsors receive complimentary copies of the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event Official Program.
- Spectator Shuttles
Spectator shuttles are available on a 30-minute rotation Saturday to provide transport from the Event Complex to selected areas of the Cross-Country Course. Services for the disabled also are available.
CORPORATE HOSPITALITY TENT Sponsors who wish may substitute their own Corporate Hospitality Tent for Sponsor Hospitality Pavilion benefits, or add this element to their sponsorship. Corporate Hospitality Tents are located on the east side of the Johnson Arena and allow sponsors to entertain friends, clients or employees in a private setting that still allows guests to feel a part of The Event. Sponsors are responsible for their own catering and beverage services through the Event caterer. Included in Corporate Hospitality Tent Benefits are the following:
- Tent Overlooking Johnson Arena
Offered are 20’ or 30’ depths, with widths of 20’, 30’ or 40’. Prices vary accordingly. Round dining tables, chairs, serving tables, linens, silverware, and glassware are provided with the tent.
- Sponsor Badge for Sponsor’s Corporate Hospitality Tent
Sponsor Badges identify the sponsor’s guests for admission to The Event and the Sponsor’s Corporate Hospitality Tent.
- Parking Passes
Special parking passes will be issued for sponsor’s guests to park in a designated corporate hospitality sponsor parking area.
- Private Sanitation Units
Sanitation units and sinks will be provided for the exclusive use of each Corporate Hospitality Tent.
SPONSOR DISCOUNTS Sponsor Discounts are available on Program Advertisements, additional Hospitality Benefits (limited) and General Admission Tickets (grandstand seating is an additional cost). |
